Care Guide
Planting your Clematis koreana 'Amber':
- If planting by a wall or fence - the hole should be dug approx. 30cm (12in) away from its base.
- If planting by a tree - plant about 60cm (2ft) away from the trunk leaning the cane of the clematis towards the support.
- Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting and mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill once the clematis is in place.
- Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
- Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
- Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
- Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.
- Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
- Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
- If planting in a large pot, use the best compost that you can such as our Premium Professional Compost.
Aftercare advice for Clematis koreana 'Amber':
- Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems.
