Bred from C. jackmanii, the violet-blue flowers of this unusual form are liberally splashed and streaked with palest mauve. Each petal too has a slightly ruffled and bumpy surface, which further adds to the appeal. 'Tye Die' provides an interesting contrast to other clematis with a solid mauve, purple or white colouring, or can be teamed up with a pink climbing rose.
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.
