'Glorious Day' unveils abundant vibrant purple blooms with rich semi-double and single flowers up to 10cm (4in) wide on each plant for a dazzling and varied floral display. Emerging in mid-summer and repeating into autumn, this viticella-type clematis shines when grown on a trellis or wall, or scrambling through a climbing rose.
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.
