Clematis Vicki ('Evipo114') (PBR)

early large flowered clematis (group 2)

Product Image
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.

How to care for Clematis Vicki ('Evipo114') (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.

Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or pebbles.

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 - again avoiding the immediate crown.
