How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

Can occasionally be affected by aphids - if you spot them, they can be wiped off with a damp cloth and the affected area sprayed with soapy water to prevent a recurrence. Clematis wilt can be avoided by ensuring your plants have the correct balance of nutrients. Dig in plenty of compost when planting, and mulch around the plant in the autumn.

Water regularly at first

Water frequently when your plant is newly planted and getting established. After that, water during dry spells and avoid the soil drying out.

Full sun to partial shade

Clematis will thrive in partial shade but prefers a position in full sun (at least six hours of daily sunlight)

Any moist, well drained soil

Clematis will grow well in any soil type providing it is moist and well drained. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, mix in some fine gravel or perlite when planting, to help with drainage.

Feed in spring

Feed in spring and up to three times a year with a potassium rich fertiliser or rose feed, to encourage flower growth. ?v=1613300929
