Clematis 'Double Truffle Raspberry'
clematis montana
A vigorous, deciduous climber with bronze-tinged green foliage that provides year-round interest. Masses of double, deep red flowers with bright yellow stamens appear in late spring to early summer, creating a striking display.
Fast-growing and ideal for covering walls, fences, trellises, and pergolas, this Clematis montana cultivar quickly establishes, bringing height and structure to the garden, and thrives in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade whilst benefiting from a cool, shaded root zone.
Requires minimal pruning, but can be trimmed after flowering to maintain shape. Fully hardy and easy to grow, Clematis 'Double Truffle Raspberry' is perfect for adding colour and impact early in the season.

How to care for Clematis Double Truffle Raspberry:
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 need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of of pebbles.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
