Clematis florida 'Taiga'
- Masses of highly unusual, purple and chartreuse green, fully double flowers add instant wow factor to any garden they grace
- Flowering between June and September, this plant's blooms offer bold contrast, with deep violet petals transitioning to electric greenish-yellow tips flaring upwards, like tongues of magical flame. Want to make a statement? Look no further...
- First debuted at the 2017 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, this showstopping clematis makes a fantastic feature plant to train up a decorative obelisk in a patio container. Alternatively, train up a south-facing wall trellis to cheer up an otherwise tired-feeling outdoor space
- Dense mid-green, cordiform foliage provides a wonderful backdrop against which these one-of-a-kind flowers can really dazzle
- Pruning group 3 – prune this clematis hard (in early spring) to a healthy bud roughly 30cm from the ground
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
