Clematis Vicki ('Evipo114') (PBR)
early large flowered clematis (group 2)

- Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil
- Rate of growth: average to fast growing
- Flowering period: June to September

Bred by the renowned Raymond Evison, and previewed at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2019, this is an exceptionally pretty clematis that will produce its long-lasting flowers over several months from early summer. A compact climber, it is ideal for pots, but it also looks great when used to fill gaps in a border and scrambling up an obelisk. - Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
- Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
