Clematis Avant-garde ('Evipo033') (PBR)
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Avant Garde)
Large, plum-coloured double blooms, each with a paler, frilly-looking eye first appear in midsummer, but repeat well until early to mid-autumn (although later flowers may not be fully double).
Clematis Avant-garde is noted for its vigour and strength, but it's well behaved enough not to take over the entire garden. It's ideal for smothering unsightly walls and fences, or for adding summer colour to large-sized arches.

How to care for Clematis Avant-garde ('Evipo033') (PBR):
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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser.
