Clematis Constance | 3L Pot

Deep purplish-pink flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardySemi-double, deep purplish-red, bell-shaped flowers, followed by fluffy seedheads in summer and mid-green leaves. This alpine clematis is a particularly free-flowering variety. An attractive choice for covering a north- or east-facing wall, it occasionally produces a second, smaller flush of flowers in summer. 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.
