Noted for its abundance of flowers, which are a mix of white and lilac-purple, this lovely clematis will offer months of summer colour. ‘Pernille’ grows admirably and suitably for large pots, trained over an obelisk on the patio, or used to quickly smother an unsightly fence.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where that 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. 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 - again avoiding the immediate crown.
