A formidable duo of colours! The orange and yellow flowers of Lonicera Mandarin® mingle with the dark purple inflorescences of Clematis Romantika. This wonderfully contrasting duo brings together two original and vigorous climbing plants, adorned with decorative deciduous foliage and fragrant summer flowers. Their long stems wrap around any support available to them. These climbers will then enthusiastically cover a pergola, an canopy, or take over a sad old hedge...
This duo consists of a Clematis Romantika and a Lonicera Mandarin.
The Lonicera Golden Trumpet is a very hardy, easy to grow climbing Honeysuckle, with beautiful delicately scented orange and yellow flowers. It has 4 to 8 cm long, opposite, ovate, lanceolate, deciduous, brown then bluish green leaves. From May to July, numerous 3 cm-long, orange and yellow tubular flowers diffuse a powerful and pleasant fragrance. They have two large coloured lips and expose the stamens. In autumn, red berries follow but these are toxic.
The Clematis Romantika catches the eye with the very dark shade of its abundant large velvety flowers and seduces with its good resistance to wilt disease. From June to September, flowers with 4 to 6 very dark purple petals bloom, taking on black and violet reflections as the hours go by. The centre of the flower, occupied by beautiful yellow stamens, further accentuates the dark colour of the flower. The moderate-sized, medium green, pinnate leaves with oval, glabrous leaflets, are of the viticella type. Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. They are found in both hemispheres, particularly in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, North and Central America. The 'Romantika' variety, introduced in Estonia in 1983, is a vigorous, resistant, perfectly perennial and hardy, woody and climbing plant that will quickly reach a height of 3 to 4 m, with a minimum spread of 1 m.
This duo will thrive in any rich, moist, well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded location. Clematis like to have their feet in the shade and their heads in the sun. Although not necessary, light pruning at the end of winter is possible to balance the habit.
With its height of 3 to 4 m, this duo is ideal as a wall cover to dress up a fence, trellis, pole, pergola, or tree. In a container on a terrace, you will enjoy its fragrance even more!

Botanical data
The Mandarin Lonicera should be planted in autumn or spring in cool, rich and well-drained soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Be sure to add potting compost when planting. Water regularly and mulch the soil to keep it cool. Prune in late winter to balance the branches. Watch out for aphids!
The Romantika Clematis will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded position near a tree, with its base in the shade. Plant it in fertile, humus-rich, cool, and well-drained soil, shading the roots and the base of the stems (with a flat tile, for example). In general, clematis wither in overly wet soil, but varieties carrying the genes of C.viticella seem to be less sensitive to this terrible disease. Plant it by covering the root ball with 3 cm of soil, in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm, lightened with good potting compost and coarse sand. After planting, cut back the clematis stems to about 30 cm from the base above a healthy pair of buds. Water regularly in the first few weeks. However, be careful not to let the water stagnate as this can cause fungi to develop at the collar. Mulch all clematis in February with garden compost or well-decomposed manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant grips itself. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants. Prune in March to 30 cm from the ground.
After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of withering, 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 clematis parasites.

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).
