Clematis Super Nova ('Zo09088') (PBR)
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Super Nova)
A compact, free-flowering deciduous summer beauty that rewards the garden with stunning purple blooms from early to late summer. ‘Super Nova’ blends attractive mid-green foliage with abundant single flowers up to 9cm (4in) across showcasing six broad petals in rich royal purple, beautifully veined in violet shades that radiate toward the central white bars. Slightly recurved and ruffled margins display the exquisite colouring to full effect.
How to care for Clematis Super Nova ('Zo09088') (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.
