Clematis 'Purity'

This evergreen clematis has been growing in our garden for many years, where it has consistently impressed us with its reliability and flower power. A rare find and absolutely garden worthy. It is a mass of flowers from late winter to spring. The white flowers are up to 7cm across and have reddish stamens. Clematis ‘Purity’ is a selected form of Clematis paniculata.

Clematis ‘Purity’ is pruning group 1, flowering on last year’s growth. So they are super easy to care for, you just have to trim to tidy ... Or not, they really aren’t too fussy.

Clematis tends to grow well where Roses flourish. They are also excellent in combination. You can use similar colours for a lovely blend or create some drama with contrasting shades. As a point in fact, Clematis intermingle well with many plants – trees and shrubs especially as they can be used for climbing in a beautiful symbiosis. They are so versatile; you can even grow them in pots.
The old adage is to plant your clematis so their 'head' is in the sun and their 'feet' are in the shade. In other words they like their root zone to be cool and protected, and the stem to grow up into a sunny position. You can protect the root zone with mulch and/or by using other plants to shield the roots from the sun.
Grow Clematis in humus rich, moist, well drained soil. They need good drainage or the roots can rot. Plant so they will receive around six hour’s sun a day and shield from the hot afternoon rays. To perform at their best they should be fertilised well. Use a Rose Fertiliser every three months or so.
