  First launched at the Chelsea Flower Show 2010, this showy Clematis will put on an exceptional display of pompom-like flowers for several months from midsummer. Each flower will grow up to 15cm across, and can last for up to 1 month, so the overall display is pretty impressive.
  
  
• 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
