Clematis Kingfisher ('Evipo037') (PBR)
early large flowered clematis (group 2) (Clematis King Fisher)
Noted for it's abundance of larger than average flowers, which can appear over a prolonged period, this clematis offers lashings of summer colour. The mauve-blue flowers have their first flush in late spring and early summer, and these are often 6 or 7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter. Their second flush in late summer is also prolific, but each flower tends to be slightly smaller in size. It's a great addition to the garden (or patio), and they look stunning when teamed with pinks, deeper purple or silver.
How to care for Clematis Kingfisher ('Evipo037') (PBR):
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 mulcf well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
