Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon'
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Madame Julia Correvon)
This compact, deciduous climber produces masses of deep claret-red, star-shaped flowers with creamy-yellow stamens from mid-summer through to early autumn. Its reliable flowering habit and strong performance make it ideal for training up trellises, obelisks, or fences.
Suitable for both borders and containers, this cultivar fits well in smaller gardens or patio spaces. As part of the viticella group, Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon' offers good resistance to clematis wilt and copes well with a range of garden conditions.

How to care for Clematis Madame Julia Correvon:
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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
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.
