Plump pointed buds appear on nodding stems in mid-spring, opening over the next few weeks to slightly ruffled, yellow-centred flowers. These bell-shaped blooms are a rich shade of reddish-purple and they look sublime against the backdrop of fresh green foliage.
Relatively compact in habit, Clematis 'Brunette' is useful for covering walls and fences without taking over the whole garden, and it will quite happily thrive in a large pot, provided it is kept well fed and watered.

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.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
