First launched at the Chelsea Flower Show 2010, this showy Clematis will put on an exceptional display of pompom-like flowers for several months from midsummer. Each flower will grow up to 15cm across, and can last for up to 1 month, so the overall display is pretty impressive.
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 mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring
