Clematis Bijou ('Evipo030') (PBR) (Tudor Patio Series)
clematis (group 2)
Unlike most of the other clematis, this compact, non-climbing form creates a leafy mound, which over a long period from late spring, is topped with showy violet flowers. It's ideal for spilling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket, but it can also be used to soften the edges of a border - or add some long-lasting colour to a rockery.
How to care for Clematis Bijou ('Evipo030') (PBR) (Tudor Patio Series):
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
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, avoiding the immediate crown.
