Description

Clematis is a perennial climbing plant that comes in various forms, from low-growing ground covers to vigorous climbers that can reach a height of up to 10 meters. Its leaves are usually palmate and the flowers vary in color and shape - from simple, cup-like to more complex, double flowers. Depending on the variety, the flowering period ranges from spring to fall, with most species blooming in summer.

Growing tips

After the flowering period, a strong pruning is necessary to stimulate growth.
