A spectacular, showy clematis which looks like a passion flower, but is hardier and easier to grow. I love this for picking too, it's stem ends seared and then its flowers floated in a large shallow bowl.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting Clematis need moisture-retentive, but well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Keep the base of the plant and the roots cool and shaded, by carefully positioning other plants, or put a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base. Make sure you plant this with a method of support, and tie it in as it grows. This variety is virtually tendril-free, so won't entwine itself around an obelisk or trellis, you'll have to give it a hand.
Care Tips Pruning group 3 - flowers on the current season's growth so cut back hard in early spring to a healthy pair of buds 30cm (12in) above the ground and apply a mulch of compost or well-rotted manure. Tie in new shoots to a trellis or other suitable support. Will benefit from a regular liquid feed throughout the growing season. Read Sarah's article for more information on how to prune clematis.

Yes the plants were sent with one broken down to the roots and the other one was droopy when it arrived. I was very disappointed with them as they were a gift from my sister. I had to let he know what they were like.
