Clematis Ovation (PBR) | 2 Litre Pot

Carpet of creamy white flowers, perfect for ground cover. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April Hardiness: frost hardy (will need winter protection) A really exciting introduction, this bushy, compact trailing clematis is perfect for growing in pots where it can tumble over the edge or as ground cover scrambling over slopes and banks. Evergreen, with dark green shallowly lobed leaves, it produces an abundance of slightly scented, pretty creamy-white flowers with a central boss of lime green stamens in spring. Then as the summer progresses the faded flowers develop into soft white fluffy seedheads for added interest. 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.
