What Is Supplied
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, leaf mould 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 - our clematis feed is ideal.
- No routine pruning is necessary, unless you wish to restrict its size, then prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
- Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
