Here is a pair of natural climbing plants, to be planted freely in a hedge, on a fence, an old tree, a cabin or any slightly unsightly structure that it will quickly cover: the thousand white stars of the vigorous Clematis fargesii blend all summer with the beautiful golden leaves of the Golden Hops. The spectacle continues into late summer and autumn, when the feathery and silver fruits of the beautiful Clematis fargesii accompany the fragrant cones of its companion. Install these two climbers in the sun or partial shade, in the same hole, in any good, rather moist garden soil.Â
Â
This natural duo is composed of a Clematis fargesii Summer Snow and a Humulus lupulus Aureus plant.
Clematis fargesii (synonym C. potaninii var. potaninii , C. fargesii souliei ), from the Ranunculaceae family, is a vigorous deciduous woody climbing plant native to China. Humulus lupulus Aureus, on the other hand, belongs to the Cannabaceae family and is native to Europe, temperate Asia, and northern Africa. Both climbing plants can easily reach a height of 5m (16ft), with a minimum spread of 2m (7ft). The Clematis, whose stems are woody, loses its foliage in winter. The golden hop regrows its entire vegetation each year from its powerful rhizomatous stump. Both are perfectly resistant to cold and show rapid and vigorous growth in deep and moist soil.
The Clematis fargesii blooms generously from July to October. Its star-shaped flowers with 6 white petals and long cream stamens, 4 to 5cm (2in) wide, are gathered in small clusters. The flowers, slightly fragrant, is followed by decorative silvery grey feathery fruits that persist until winter. The deciduous leaves are divided into small, glabrous, somewhat dark green leaflets. This clematis attaches itself to the support or host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils. While it possesses great vigour, it never suffocates the plants it climbs under its vegetation.
Humulus lupulus Aureus, a perennial climber with rapid growth, has slightly less development than the typical species, and distinguishes itself with its magnificent leaves that change from butter yellow to yellow-green during the season. Its stems cling to their support thanks to small hook-shaped hairs. Its large leaves, reminiscent of those of the vine, are divided into 3 to 5 roughly dentate lobes. The golden hop blooms in late summer, in August-September. The female plants bear (after fertilisation by a male plant) pendulous cones of yellow-green colour, highly aromatic, traditionally used to flavour beer. They are also highly appreciated in dried bouquets.
Â
Plant this unexpected duo to quickly cover your fences, trees, small structures, and pergolas until autumn. Take advantage of the vigour and easy cultivation of these two very spontaneous climbers to give your garden a wild and bohemian touch. They love to climb on trees and bushes and in a few years form a very successful marriage in the garden. To their white and gold colours, if space allows, you could add the scarlet red of a Virginia Creeper to spice up this very harmonious alliance.

Botanical data
Clematis fargesii will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded position near a tree. Plant it in a fertile, humus-rich soil, especially well-drained, shading the roots and the base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). In general, clematis withers in excessively moist soil and hot weather, falling victim to a terrible disease commonly known as wilt. Plant it by covering the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), lightened with good compost and coarse sand. After planting, prune the clematis stems to about 30 cm (12in) above a nice pair of buds. Water regularly during the first few weeks. However, be sure not to let the water stagnate as this can cause fungus to develop at the neck. Mulch all clematis plants in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without tightening them, until the plant grips itself. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants. Remove dead or weak stems in March, before the vegetation resumes, and prune all others above 2 nice buds. They will produce secondary stems that will bear lateral shoots flowering in May. Remove faded flowers. The young shoots will flower later in the season.
After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of wilt, while promoting the growth of vigorous shoots from the stump. Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests of clematis.
The Golden Hop is easy to grow in ordinary, deep soil and tolerates all exposures, with a preference for partial shade. Direct sunlight would scorch its foliage. It prefers clay-limestone and very fertile soils. Plant the Golden Hop in a soil that remains moist and provide it with a good base fertiliser at planting. It attaches itself easily with the small hooks on its climbing stems. Install a trellis if you want to cover a wall. The stems detach easily from their support in autumn, as they dry out and die at the first frost. Prune your plant every year to a height of 25 cm (10in) in February or March; remember to remove (and possibly replant) the shoots that would otherwise become invasive.
To save space, you can perfectly plant your clematis and golden hop in the same hole, which will be of substantial size: dig a pit at least 60 cm (24in) wide and 50 cm (20in) deep. Backfill with a mixture of garden soil and compost. Consider choosing a location where the base of the plants will be shaded, primarily to meet the needs of the clematis.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
