This RHS award-winning, fast-growing clematis is excellent for training over a pergola or covering an unsightly wall or fence in a north-facing site.
Plant Clematis 'Elizabeth' near an entrance or path where the delicate almond fragrance can be appreciated.
How to care for Clematis Elizabeth:
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.
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.
