early large flowered clematis (group 2) (syn. Clematis 'Fairy Blue')
A dazzling variety with large, lavender flowers up to 15cm across, with a pronounced ruff of stamens and mid-green leaves. A compact and free-flowering climber that is perfect for the small garden as it only grows to 1.8m tall and wide. It can also be grown in a large container up an obelisk or against a sunny wall.
How to care for Clematis Crystal Fountain ('Evipo038') (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.
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 mulcf well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
