Cultivation Advice
Included in this group are those clematis commonly thought of as Viticella's, or viticella crosses. However we have taken the liberty to include some other cultivars in this group because their growth, habit and appearance is identical to that of the Viticella's. They include the likes of 'Blekitny Aniol', 'Polish Spirit' and 'Prince Charles' because of their similarities, and for ease of selection, we feel justified in placing them within this group.
They are all extremely hardy, very free flowering, their pruning is simple and they cannot be recommended highly enough. Especially useful for people new to growing clematis as they are extremely tolerant of what the gardener does to them! They all make excellent companions to grow with roses.

These clematis prefer a good quality soil with high nutrient levels and a soil which is moist but free-draining. Improve planting holes with at least 2 forkfuls of well rotted manure or garden compost and if you don't have these use a 'Soil Improver' compost. The improvement material added should be placed under the root of the plant not around it. This encourages the roots to grow downwards and remain deep and cool during summer.There is no need to deadhead these clematis, however if they appear to have finished flowering earlier than you expected, there is no harm in giving them a light trim to encourage new growth and a secondary flowering late in the autumn.

Blooming just 2 weeks after planting

This clematis arrived professionally packed and was easy to plant even for a 100% beginner like me.

Started flowering just 2 weeks after planting and never stops!

I'm sure I will enjoy my garden with this plant for many more years to come.

Great Clematis

I only bought this clematis in the middle of July this year, I planted it against a climbing rose on a fence. Two weeks later I went away for over 2 weeks. Came back and it was growing well, even without being watered. Watered it thoroughly and have been watering the plant during dry spells. It is growing so fast. I'm delighted and will definitely be buying from Thorncroft again, although maybe earlier in the season in future!.

Fabulous

I bought this clematis quite cheaply as part of an offer and it has been marvellous. In its first year it's grown well and twined through a gloire de Dijon rose on my north facing fence and just looked amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.
