Clematis Edda ('Evipo074') (PBR) (Boulevard Series)
early large flowered clematis (group 2)
A compact, deciduous climber, for small frames, pots or scrambling through leggy plants to add a splash of colour and mid-green foliage backdrop. The single flowers, up to 15cm in width, are purple with reddish central stripes and purple-tipped, white stamens that would make a romantic and complimentary trio with climbing roses ‘Goldfinch’ and ‘Pippin'.
How to care for Clematis Edda ('Evipo074') (PBR) (Boulevard 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.
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
