Clematis integrifolia 'Rosea'
clematis integrifolia (group 3)
A delightful perennial herbaceous clematis boasting lance-shaped, purple-tinged leathery leaves, and blooms with nodding, fragrant, sugar-pink, bell-shaped flowers, 4cm (1in) wide, delicately shaded darker on the outside. From early to late summer, these charming blossoms adorn the non-clinging, bushy form, capturing attention in borders basking in full sun or partial shade. Clematis integrifolia ‘Rosea’ has a prolonged season of interest, gracing the garden with its silky seed-heads, ensuring a lasting fascination through to the first frosts.
How to care for Clematis integrifolia Rosea:
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.
This clematis is herbaceous and will die back during the winter - remove spent stems and foliage to the ground in February, and apply a thick layer of mulch to suppress weeds, feed the soil, and keep the root area moist and cool for the growing season ahead.
Use twiggy prunings, ring stakes or bamboo canes to provide support.
