Clematis 'Gipsy Queen'
late large flowered clematis (group 3) (syn. Jackmanii Superba)
Large rich dark purple flowers, with either 4, 5 or 6 petals, clothe this popular and reliable late-flowering clematis. The abundant blooms appear from mid- to late summer and look fantastic when grown up a trellis or wall. It is also a good clematis to grow through shrubs or trees as is pruned right back and so never becomes too much of a burden on the supporting plant.
How to care for Clematis Gipsy Queen:
Cut back stems to a pair of strong buds 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level before growth begins in early spring. Mulch in late winter with garden compost or well-rotted manure but avoid the immediate crown.
