Clematis Cézanne ('Evipo023') (PBR) (Boulevard Series)
Cezanne clematis (group 2)
A compact, deciduous, short climber with mid-green leaves and light blue-purple star-shaped flowers bearing creamy-white stamens. Borne from early summer to early autumn, this dwarf clematis makes a glorious, free-flowering pastel focal point for a small trellis, obelisk or weaving in and out of a small climbing rose such as ‘Goldfinch’ or ‘Little Rambler’. Like all clematis, ‘Cezanne’ prefers a position in sun with the soil area and roots in the shade.
How to care for Clematis Cézanne ('Evipo023') (PBR) (Boulevard Series):
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 are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or pebbles.
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 well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant - again avoiding the immediate crown.
