A gorgeous, large-flowered clematis with a free-flowering nature, producing an abundance of fully double lilac flowers in late spring or early summer. Then, once these have died back, ‘Bellissima’ produces a second flush of flowers that appear in late summer or early autumn - this time with just a single row of petals.
Climbing clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these clematis in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
