A wonderful viticella clematis, which produces a prolific crop of nodding bell-shaped flowers for several months from midsummer. Each rose-purple bloom, has a paler petal (sepal) edge, and a distunctly curled tip, which reveals a slightly darker centre. Overall a very attractive flower, which makes a great partner for a climbing rose. It will flourish equally well in a border or a large pot, provided it is kept well fed and watered.


  • Garden care:
    Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of 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, 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.

    • Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
