Clematis Prince Louis | 3 Lt Pot

Clematis Prince Louis new for 2018. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June and September Hardiness: fully hardy This clematis was introduced in 2018 to mark the arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge. The flowers are large, and each violet-blue petal has an irregular creamy-white stripe along its length, producing a fresh two-tone effect against the backdrop of rich green foliage. Once the main flush of flowers dies back, this hardy clematis will often produce a second, less profuse flush of flowers, which will add a splash of colour in early autumn. Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
