Thompson and Morgan Clematis The President Plant Pot 1.7L

Clematis The President is an easy to grow, free-flowering variety, which boasts large velvety-purple blooms with silvery undersides from June through to September. The richly coloured blooms are followed by attractive silvery seed heads, which hold well on the plant for another season of interest. Suitable for almost any aspect, this variety has maintained its popularity since its introduction in 1876. This deciduous variety is in pruning group: 2. Height: 3m. Spread: 1m. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Position the top of the root ball at a depth of 7.5cm below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers, use a soil-based compost. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as a trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame. Product specifications: Position: Sun or Semi-Shade. Height: Up to 300cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 90cm when fully established. Please note: This product cannot be delivered outside the United Kingdom.
