clematis (group 3)

Product Image
Gorgeous creamy-white flowers that fade to green as they age are offset by rose coloured anthers. The flowers of 'Pistachio' are produced from late spring to summer amongst mid-green, semi-evergreen foliage. An excellent climber for a container or to weave up and through a wall shrub.

How to care for Clematis florida var. normalis Pistachio ('Evirida') (PBR):

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 that 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. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
