Clematis Broughton Star | 3L Pot

Delightful double and semi-double flowering montana . Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy A delightful double and semi-double flowering montana clematis, which although vigorous and large is not as rampant as some of the other forms. This scented deciduous climber emerges with young bronze-tinted foliage which matures to a rich green, offsetting the deep pink-veined blooms from spring to early summer. A fantastic plant for covering an unattractive fence or wall. Garden care: 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.
