Thompson and Morgan Clematis Avalanche Plant Pot 3L

From early spring, the ornate, heavily dissected, evergreen leaves of Clematis Avalanche provide a superb contrast with the glistening white flowers. Boasting some of the largest blooms, evergreen Clematis Avalanche has flowers up to four centimetres in diameter and non-clinging stems, ideal for wandering through borders or trained onto an obelisk or trellis for a show-stopping display. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded position when growing Clematis Avalanche and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, positioning the root ball at a depth of 7.5cm below soil level, in order to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry; however, these soil conditions can be improved by incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in containers, use a soil-based compost. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as a trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame. Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season. Clematis Avalanche flowers in early spring on the previous year’s growth. Pruning of Group One clematis should be undertaken in summer, after flowering, by removing any damaged or dead stems entirely and then cutting back the remaining stems to a pair of healthy buds to maintain the plant within its allotted space. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant in spring, in order to protect the roots and conserve soil moisture. Ideal For: Patios, Walls and Fences, Cottage Gardens. Hardiness: Hardy. Position In: Sun or Semi-Shade Height: Up to 250cm. Spread: Up to 100cm.
