Clematis 'Polish Spirit'
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Polish Spirit)
Saucer-shaped, rich purple flowers with deep red centres from July to September and dark green leaves. This late-flowering viticella-type clematis is perfect for growing over a pergola or through a shrub, tree or climbing rose in full sun or partial shade. An easy-to-grow variety, it is resistant to clematis wilt and damage from moderate winds.
How to care for Clematis Polish Spirit:
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.
