For bountiful beauty from early summer onward, look no further than this wonderful clematis. From midsummer into early autumn, abundant semi-double flowers up to 15cm (6in) across emerge, opening with alluring tones of lilac-blue before maturing to ethereal pale hues, with bold reddish-purple anthers adding striking contrast. As the prolific flowers bloom and fade in waves, the clematis takes on a multi-coloured appearance and romantic charm, and the flowers continue getting smaller yet lovelier throughout the season, bathing trellises and arbours in delicate pastel shades. Ideal for covering vertical spaces such as walls and fences, or intertwining through roses and shrubs, 'Reflections' offers copious blooms and intriguing colour shifts throughout the summer.
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.
