Clematis viticella ‘Madame Julia Corevon’ (3 litre pot)

Clematis viticella ‘Madame Julia Corevon’ is a medium size deciduous climber that flowers from mid until late summer, bearing unusual blooms which are single to double, open bell-shape with deep claret-red petals.

This versatile Clematis uses twining leaf stalks to climb support structures and is happy in either full sunlight or partial shade.

It will take up to five years to achieve full height and spread. This climber can be grown against structures such as pergolas, trellis frames and walls and should be planted into fertile ground – ideally with good compost, this will help 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).
