A long-flowering, creamy white ‘apple blossom’ clematis with a blush pink bar running along the centre of each petal. A wide central boss of reddish-purple stamens completes the flower (up to 17cm in diameter) making ‘Countess of Wessex’ a stunning and modest climber that would compliment most planting schemes from late spring to early summer and again from late summer to early autumn. Great for growing in a container, a pot or the patio garden, or for sheer indulgence when scrambling through Rosa ‘Dunham Massey’.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stes 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.
