Unlike most of the other clematis, this compact, non-climbing form creates a leafy mound, which over a long period from late spring, is topped with showy violet flowers. It's ideal for spilling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket, but it can also be used to soften the edges of a border - or add some long-lasting colour to a rockery.
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.
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.
