Clematis Royalty | 3 Lt Pot

Produces both single and double flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: average to fast growing Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: fully hardy Initially the violet flowers of this compact climber are packed with petals, but towards the end of the season, it starts producing flowers with just a single row of petals, which surround a cluster of yellow anthers (as seen in our photo). Whatever their shape, they offer many months of colour, and they look particularly good when teamed with pinks, or woven through a large, established shrub with silvery foliage. 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 well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
