Overview
A mound forming clematis ideal for rockeries and front of borders. This is a non-climbing variety of clematis and is not suitable for trellis and walls. It has small, dissected, dark green leaves and forms masses of small cream flowers in spring.
This plant is protected by plant breeders rights.
This belongs to(Pruning Group 1), as it flowers early in the year on growth produced from the previous summer.
Pruning Group 1 Clematis require no regular pruning, and should only be pruned back hard in their first spring after planting. This is to encourage growth of multiple healthy stems.(If young plants are left unpruned, they tend to produce very long single stems with a small cluster of flowers at the top). Cut back to above a strong pair of leaf buds about 30cm (12in) above soil level. For regular maintenance, only prune after flowering in spring once the danger of frosts have passed.
Cultural information: Clematis perform best in a deep, rich soil that remains moist but well-drained. They like their heads in the sun but the base of the plant should be kept cool and shaded by other plants. Adding a mulch, such as garden compost, well rotted manure or bark chippings, will help reduce water loss and add nutrients to the soil. Plant your new clematis with the crown 5–8cm (2–3in) deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level and keep it well watered during its first Spring and Summer. . Rootgrow (beneficial mycorrhizal beneficial fungi) sprinkled on the roots prior to planting will aid root development. Clematis are greedy feeders and benefit from regular feeding with Chempak Clematis Food.
