You Garden Clematis Avant Garde Premium Double 2 x 7 cm Pots

20 GBP

An unusually coloured, premium summer-flowering clematis bred by world-renowned specialist Raymond Evasion. This unique, double-flowered climber features an outer ring of curved magenta petals (or more correctly tepals as they are neither petals nor sepals), around a central crown of pale pink petals. Clematis 'Avant-Garde' is a viticella variety, which means that is robust and vigorous, and easy to maintain - as the stems simply need to be cut to just above ground level, it can be grown just about anywhere with no effort at all!Blooming profusely with a multitude of two-tone flowers over a long period, 'Avant Garde' is a spectacular clematis suitable for any garden - grow it in borders over trellis, up walls, or even in pots on your deck, patio or balcony where it will add height and interest. Simply a delight when allowed to scramble through roses, shrubs or small trees, Avant Garde is a deciduous climber growing to around 3 m (12 ft) and its medium-sized, semi-double flowers (up to 5 cm, 2 in) will quickly cover most structures that it is grown against. Brand: You Garden Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leaf mould or garden compost Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer & early autumn Supplied as an established plant in a 7 cm pot, ready to pot on or plant out when the weather warms Growing to around 3 m (12 ft) it will quickly cover most structures that it is grown against Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8 cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level Pruning is a case of a simple tidy up - in late winter/early spring simply reduce all stems down to 6 in (15 cm) of soil level
