  Delicious, raspberry-pink, early summer flowers edged in white with contrasting red centres and mid-green leaves. This beautiful, compact clematis is perfect for growing in a large, well-drained container, supported by trellis or garden canes. 'Carnaby' is best in partial shade to preserve the colour of the blooms from the bleaching effects of full sun.
  
  
• Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
