Clematis florida var. flore-pleno 'Plena'
early large flowered clematis (group 2)
Extremely unusual clematis with creamy greeny-white flowers with double centres which appear from early summer to early autumn. It has semi-evergreen, mid-green foliage and thin stems, which means it is best trained through a wall shrub for support or grown in a container.
How to care for Clematis florida var. flore-pleno Plena:
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.
