Clematis 'Purple Spider'

clematis (group 1)

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: April to June and sometimes again in August
• Flower colour: deep purple
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  The nodding, deep purple, spider-like flowers appear in mid spring to early summer, and occasionally have a second flush in late summer. These are followed by attractive, silky seedheads, which can last until autumn. Its compact habit makes it ideal for pots and containers.
  
  
• Garden care: 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.
  
  
  • Eventual Height: 4m
  • Eventual Spread: 1.5m
