New for 2021, this compact clematis is ideal for pots, but it could also be used to meander throught the front of a mixed border. Its yellow-eyed flowers appear repeatedly from midsummer to well into autumn, and initially the tepals tend to be violet-blue in colour. As the summer heat intensifies, so does their colouring, and it starts to produce flowers, which initially are a deeper shade of purple, but take on a bluish tone as they age.
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.
