Clematis Sea Breeze ('Zo09063') (PBR)
clematis (group 3) (syn. Clematis viticella Sea Breeze)
The gorgeous, slightly nodding blue flowers, which appear over a really long period from midsummer, make this delightful climber a wonderful addition to the late summer garden.
Clematis Sea Breeze won't get too big, so is great in smaller spaces and large patio pots, and like most viticella clematis it also shows good resistance to the dreaded wilt.

How to care for Clematis Sea Breeze ('Zo09063') (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.
