Clematis ‘Daniel Deronda’ (3 litre pot)

Clematis ‘Daniel Deronda’ is a deciduous and interesting climber which flowers with semi-double or single flowers in early summer and sometimes has a repeat flourish in late summer. It produces beautiful big flat star-shaped blooms, which are dark violet-blue with cream stamens. In autumn, it will have attractive fluffy seed heads, which also add interest to your garden.

This Clematis uses twining leaf stalks to climb supporting structures. It is a versatile climber and is suitable for most conditions and aspects. It will take up to five years to achieve full height and spread. It can be grown in containers, against walls, trellis and supports.

Plant the Clematis deep into fertile ground or a container with good compost, to avoid disease problems such as wilt and root rot.

When planting in the ground, we recommend a depth of twice the height of the pot provided to ground level and always plant at an angle and towards the supporting structure, as well providing support wires or framework to the wall or structure you intend to grow it against.

Remember to mulch in late winter and before new growth begins in early spring, we recommend cutting back the previous year’s stems to buds (approximately 8 inches /20cm above soil level).
