Clematis Alpina Ruby
OUT OF STOCK
Clematis alpina Ruby is a late spring flowering Clematis, growing to heights of up to 2.5m. This fantastic climber produces an abundance of reddish-purple bell-shaped flowers, with decorative creamy centres. Each flower is surrounded by contrasting m id-green lanceolate toothed leaves, bringing further interest and fulfilment to the barest of walls. We'd recommend planting up an archway or trellis for a whimsical cottage garden look. 30-40cm plants supplied in a 7cm pot.

Clematis can be planted October-May in areas with good drainage and plenty of sun is preferable. Soak in a bucket of water prior to planting and plant deep enough to allow plenty of room for root development. The roots of clematis like to be kept cool so it is a good idea to plant amongst low growing shrubs or bedding plants. If planting in containers, ensure the pot is large enough to allow the roots to expand/develop, as limitation of roots will certainly impede future success.
Clematis are vigorous climbing plants that reach various heights and spreads. Its best to prune back to keep control over the growth annually and initially they should be tied in to help direct the new growth. Apply a liquid fertiliser each during the growing season, and water regularly during hot periods.
