Product Description
Clematis Olympia(TM) Evipo099(N) is one of the ground-breaking new series of BOULEVARD(R) clematis bred by award-winning clematis expert Raymond Evison. With large, eye-catching, purple-blue flowers on a compact, medium-sized plant, 'Olympia' gives a delightful display from early spring to late summer.
This compact clematis blooms all the way along its stems, resulting in a proliferation of large, rich purple-blue flowers from the ground upwards all summer and into late autumn. Makes a beautiful feature of fences, trellises, and arches and is especially effective in containers.
Olympia(TM) Evipo099(N) loves a sunny spot, where it can be trained up trellis for a vertical wall effect or allow to naturally wind its way through beds and borders.
Free-flowering and extremlely hardy, this clematis is perfect for decorating fences and its compact growth is ideally suited to a pot, planter or even hanging baskets!

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.
- Flowers appear on new growth, so cut back all the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, 15-20cm above soil level, before growth begins in early spring.

Do not despatch a plant which has numerous dead leaves and is not worth the money. If I had gone to somewhere to buy in a shop you would never buy it

The plants were very small and one of the three we ordered did not have much life. I contacted GardenBargains sales department and have not heard from them and it is now a week.
