Plant breeders are continually developing new Hybrids that are a beautiful climbing plant, fantastic flowers, beautiful range of colors, easy to maintain and they don't take over the garden. Hybrid clematis do not need a lot of space; simply a cool root run beneath and some sun above. Clematis are useful in the garden for a number of reasons:
Evergreen ClematisClematis armandii cultivars for sale are evergreen and are very useful where a year round screen is required. Evergreen species can be pruned back fairly hard to maintain shape and size. Evergreen clematis cultivars include 'Ernest Markham' , 'Niobe' and 'Carnaby' Clematis CareClematis prefer to grow with cool root run, so plant clematis in humus rich moist but well drained soil, roots in the shade. Clematis should be planted deep, it is good practice to plant several buds underground, this will encouraged new growth, so make sure that the top of the root ball is at least 2-3in below the surface of the ground. As with most plants it is a good idea to soak the clematis in its pot before planting, make sure you dig in some well rotted compost or manure before planting new clematis. Clematis can also be grown in pots, as long as the pots (and therefore the root system) are kept cool and shaded. Try growing one of the new hybrid clematis through an obelisk or tripod. |
