The first flush of flowers on this extremely compact clematis will often have more that a single row of petals surrounding the filigree-like eye, and as they appear in such abundance, they put on an impressive show for such diminutive plants. The second flush of flowers do tend to be singles (ie. with just one circle of petals), but their pale pink colouring looks almost luminous against the backdrop of green - particularly in the early evening. 'Filigree' is perfect for the patio - or the front of the border.
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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
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.
