Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'

late large flowered clematis (group 3)

Product Image
This vigorous clematis flowers continuously from July to October, producing a profusion of large, carmine-red flowers with contrasting golden centres. Since the lower foliage becomes scorched by late summer, 'Ville de Lyon' is best grown through an evergreen shrub or tree. Feed and water well early in the season to delay browning of the leaves.

How to care for Clematis Ville de Lyon:

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.
