'Glorious Day' unveils abundant vibrant purple blooms with rich semi-double and single flowers up to 10cm (4in) wide on each plant for a dazzling and varied floral display. Emerging in mid-summer and repeating into autumn, this viticella-type clematis shines when grown on a trellis or wall, or scrambling through a climbing rose.
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.
