A compact deciduous clematis, adorned with light green leaves bearing large, striking magenta-pink flowers boasting wavy edges. These eye-catching blooms with a fringed white cerise eye emerge along the stems from late spring to late summer, ensuring a continuous display of vibrant colour from the plant's base to its top. Specially bred to thrive in containers on terraces, 'Daiyu' offers an extended and repeat flowering period from May to October, despite being a late flowering group 3 member, and is ideal for adding beauty to patios and disguising the lower areas of taller shrubs like roses or other Clematis cultivars.
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.
