Clematis Diamantina ('Evipo039') (PBR)
early large flowered clematis (group 2)
Packed with full, ruffled blooms, this climber brings a rich splash of colour with large flowers opening from tight, rounded buds into layered, double forms, revealing soft mauve and bluish-purple tones with a gentle rosy-pink flush through the centre.
Clematis Diamantina grows into a neat, bushy climber reaching around 2m (6ft), making it ideal for trellis, arches or even a large container (40cm+) where you can enjoy the detail up close. It flowers generously in early summer, then returns for a second show later in the season, giving you a long run of interest without much effort.
Each bloom holds well on the plant, gradually opening over time so the display always feels fresh. Plant with roots kept cool and tops in the sun, in fertile, well-drained soil, and let it weave through shrubs or stand alone as a feature.

How to care for Clematis Diamantina ('Evipo039') (PBR):
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or 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 well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant - again avoiding the immediate crown.
