Clematis 'Tie Dye'

clematis (group 3)

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, well-drained soil, neutral soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: July to September
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Bred from C. jackmanii, the violet-blue flowers of this unusual form are liberally splashed and streaked with palest mauve. Each petal too has a slightly ruffled and bumpy surface, which further adds to the appeal. It provides an interesting contrast to other Clematis with a solid mauve, purple or white colouring, or can be teamed up with a pink climbing rose.
  
  
• Garden care: 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.
