Clematis Welcome Home ('ZO24025') (PBR)
clematis (group 3)
A viticella clematis that blooms profusely between summer to early autumn with dark violet petals featuring a powder puff centre of true flowers ranging from 5-8cm (2-3in). 'Welcome Home' is particularly wilt resistant, offering a reliable and beautiful climbing option for sunny walls and trellises with some shade at the base.
How to care for Clematis Welcome Home ('ZO24025') (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.
