Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchaud'
late large flowered clematis (group 3)



*selected lines only
This late summer-flowering clematis produces masses of large, mauve-pink flowers with contrasting yellow centres from July to September. A favourite of gardeners since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is easy to grow and less prone to clematis wilt than other large-flowered varieties. Ideal for growing against a sunny wall.
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.
In early spring cut back the previous year'sstems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground leveland apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rottedgarden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
