Clematis Ivan Olsson | 2L Pot

Shimmering early summer colour. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: May to June and September Hardiness: fully hardy Soft blue-grey petals, each with a broad white central band, surround a boss of reddish stamens, forming relatively large and showy flowers, which appear in two flushes throughout the season. Occasionally, the first flush in late spring or early summer can produce semi-double flowers, but typically each blooms will have just a single row of petals.

Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
