Product Description
‘Boulevard’ is an incredibly impressive series of clematis bred by the award winning nurseryman, author, and photographer Raymond Evison at his nursery on the island of Guernsey. A world renowned expert in clematis breeding, his exhibits have won an incredible 29 gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. With that in mind, you just know that Boulevard clematis are sure to be something special.
These compact clematis bloom all the way along their stems, resulting in a profusion of extravagantly large flowers from the ground upwards from June until November, an incredibly long flowering season.
Their short stature makes them the perfect clematis for growing up obelisks and trellises, especially in containers. Also, they’re great in hanging baskets too – an interesting alternative to the more usual trailing plants, with abundant flowers creating breathtaking displays month after month.
Supplied as a pair of established plants in 10.5cm pots, ready for planting and reaching a height of 1.2m (4ft) and width of 60cm (2ft), including:
‘Pompeii’ - flowers with broad, oval petals in beautifully soft pastel pink.
‘Olympia’ - with stunning, rich purple-blue flowers.
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, 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.
