Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchaud'
late large flowered clematis (group 3)
This late summer-flowering clematis produces masses of large, mauve-pink flowers with contrasting yellow centres from July to September. A favourite of gardeners since the beginning of the twentieth century, it is easy to grow and less prone to clematis wilt than other large-flowered varieties. Ideal for growing against a sunny wall.
How to care for Clematis Comtesse de Bouchaud:
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.
