A charming compact deciduous climber adorned with mid- to dark-green foliage and boasting exquisite 10-13cm (4-5in) diameter light mauvy-blue blossoms with subtle rosy-mauve hues along the bars and a striking crown of vibrant yellow stamens. This very compact, free-flowering climber is ideal for containers or smaller gardens, offering masses of blooms throughout summer and into autumn.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where that the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or pebbles. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant - again avoiding the immediate crown.
