Overview

Quick to establish, this free-flowering clematis has glorious velvety plum-purple blooms, deeper in colour at the tips and margins, but fading to dreamy-blue tones as the season progresses. 'Purpurea' has beautiful dark green foliage, which makes it perfect for contrasting with pale green and variegated leaved plants. It looks stunning scrambling through trees, shrubs and climbing roses.

Care guide

In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
