Clematis Kingfisher ('Evipo037') (PBR)
early large flowered clematis (group 2) (Clematis King Fisher)
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May to June and September
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Noted for it's abundance of larger than average flowers, which can appear over a prolonged period, this clematis offers lashings of summer colour. The mauve-blue flowers have their first flush in late spring and early summer, and these are often 6 or 7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter. Their second flush in late summer is also prolific, but each flower tends to be slightly smaller in size. It's a great addition to the garden (or patio), and they look stunning when teamed with pinks, deeper purple or silver. - Garden care: 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 in early spring.
- Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
