Clematis Rosalyn ('Zo09087') (PBR)

clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Rosalyn)

Product Image
A stunning sight when in full bloom, this hardy clematis smothers itself in abundant, rich, red-purple ruffled, double flowers, and while the individual blooms are not large, it more than compensates with the sheer number of blossoms covering the plant. For gardens and gardeners seeking hassle-free beauty, 'Rosalyn' is unrivalled, rewarding the space it inhabits with boundless vibrant flowers. Makes an excellent companion plant for roses due to its compact size and shared love of sun.

How to care for Clematis Rosalyn ('Zo09087') (PBR):

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.
