Thompson and Morgan Clematis Aromatica Pot in Plant 7cm

Admire the strongly scented blooms of this elegant 'scrambler' from summer through to autumn. Clematis x aromatica produces unusual, deep violet flowers, complete with striking pale yellow stamens, as it trails gracefully through borders. For the full sensory experience, position this plant informally near a seating area to fully appreciate its perfume.
This hardy clematis reaches a height of up to 2 metres (6') and spreads to 1 metre (3'), making it ideal for walls, fences, cottage gardens, and scented gardens.
To ensure optimal growth and aftercare, pot up clematis plants and nurture them until they are ready for their permanent planting location. When planting, select a sunny or semi-shaded spot with moist, fertile, and well-drained soil. Position the top of the rootball 7.5cm (3") below soil level to encourage new shoots from the base. Clematis thrives in soil that is neither excessively wet nor dry; improve such soils with well-rotted manure or garden compost. When planting in patio containers, use a soil-based compost. Train the clematis onto a suitable support like trellis, wires, or a freestanding climbing frame. Water and feed regularly throughout the growing season. Ease of growing and aftercare is straightforward.
This clematis flowers in late summer on the current year's growth. Prune in spring before active growth begins, cutting back all of the previous year's stems to a pair of healthy buds approximately 20cm (8") above ground level. In spring, mulch the base of the plant with well-rotted manure or garden compost to protect the roots and retain soil moisture.
