Clematis Spring Joy ('Zo12053') (PBR)
clematis (group 1) (syn. Clematis montana Spring Joy)
Bursting with vigour, 'Spring Joy' is a robust climber showering gardens with fragrant, upward-facing white blooms, 6cm (2.5in) across, from late spring to early summer and flaunting lush green leaves divided into three oval-shaped leaflets. A montana hybrid, this deciduous Clematis is an elegant solution to clothing partially shaded walls and arches.
How to care for Clematis Spring Joy ('Zo12053') (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.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these clematis in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
