Clematis Viennetta ('Evipo006') (PBR)
clematis (group 3)
Clematis Viennetta bears striking, long-lasting blooms with creamy tepals that frame a dramatic, domed centre of purple stamens flecked with cream. Flowering first in midsummer and often repeating into autumn, it brings a bold but ornamental touch to walls, fences, or large containers.
Its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens or patios, where it can be trained up trellis or obelisks for maximum impact.

How to care for Clematis Viennetta ('Evipo006') (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.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
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.

This climber is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
