Embark on a lazy, summer journey with 'East River', a sensational and easy to manage deciduous perennial clematis whose dark green foliage provides the backdrop for a captivating floral spectacle. From early summer to its curtain fall in early autumn, this climber unfurls its large, frilly-edged purple flowers, adorned with vivid red streaks on the petal undersides.


  • Garden care:
    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.
    • Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
