Clematis 'Sweet Scentsation'
clematis (group 3)
This deciduous clematis produces a mass of small, white, highly scented flowers during the summer. A compact grower which is ideal for pots. Make sure you plant it near a walkway or entrance so you can enjoy the heady scent.
How to care for Clematis Sweet Scentsation:
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.
