Clematis 'Romantika'
late large flowered clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis Romantica)
An unusual clematis with very deep purple flowers with contrasting pale yellow stamens. The blooms are produced from July through to September and look particularly attractive when planted against a light background or growing through yellow-leaved shrubs. Prune back in early springto a pair of strong buds about 20cm above ground level.
How to care for Clematis Romantika:
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.
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.
