Award-winning spring flowering clematis collection
Herald the beginning of the flowering climber season with the Award-Winning Spring Flowering Clematis Collection. Bursting into life from early to late spring, this trio offers a stunning mix of soft blue, pure white, and vibrant cherry pink flowers to brighten walls, fences, and pergolas. These reliable, vigorous climbers thrive in shady spots, making them perfect for north or east-facing gardens.
How to care for Award-winning spring flowering clematis collection:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted 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.
