Product Description
This superb Clematis was launched at the 2017 Chelsea Flower Show and was judged as most admired plant by visitors to the show. The fully double blooms have the appearance of cactus dahlias reaching 4in across or more. Petals are blue purple - each one delicately tipped with a lime cream splash. Opening slowly they give a spiky effect to the flowers which develop into gloriously exotic rosettes. Early to bloom Taiga flowers and flowers all summer long.
This is a real statement plant for the garden and uniquely unusual too so sure to be loved by neighbours and friends. Its the ideal plant to grow on an obelisk in a large container or in pride of place in the border scrambling up a trellis or pergola.
It's easy to care for and pruning is simple - just cut each stem back to about 30cm in spring just above a pair of buds. this encourages the new growth on which the wonderful flowers are borne. Like most clematis Taiga like a sunny spot and will do best if roots are given a little shade bu lower growing plants.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.Clematis like a cool ‘root run’ so try and plant so that the roots are shaded. If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting or use groundcover plants to keep the roots cool.
Care Guide
- Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems. Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
- Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
- Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn.
- Pruning is a case of a simple tidy up - in late winter/early spring simply reduce all stems down to 6' (15cm) of soil level. However, please check the detailed advice on each variety as some differ slightly.

The plants ordered were not in good health on arrival with one plant only 3 cams in height and the other was dry and poor with it being snapped and leafs and flowers dead. The items were thrown over the fence rather than delivered per instructions
