Product Description
An awe-inspiring variety, 'Ville de Lyon' produces showy pretty carmine flowers that have blushing edges in a deep shade of red that circulate around contrasting yellow anthers. The vivid flowers sit above broad, deciduous glossy green foliage and are excellent climbers, reaching up to a mature height of 2.5m. An ideal choice for adding a splash of colour into your containers to help create a feature on your patios or decking, these stunning flowers begin to bloom in July through to September and are great for attracting pollinators such as butterflies into the garden. We recommend planting in sunny or partially shaded areas of the garden in rich, fertile soil where they will flourish. 9cm pot plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
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 yearduring the growing season, and water regularly during hot periods.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 keptcool 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.
