Delivery season: Clematis are delivered in pots year round, when in stock. It is usually best not to plant out pot grown plants in winter, but to keep them until Spring, because they will establish faster in warm soil and give you better first year growth.
Choosing a size: Small plants are cheaper and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our climbing plants come in standard pot sizes.

Growing Kingfisher Clematis

It will be happiest in alkaline or neutral soil. Fully hardy, it is best to plant this shade-tolerant variety out of full fun, which tends to fade the richly coloured flowers.  

Did You Know?

Part of the Gardini collection by Raymond Evison and Poulsen Nursery, which are relatively low climbers, great for pots and patios. Introduced at the 2007 Chelsea Flower Show. Also sold as Hoffmeyer.

In the first spring after planting, cut all stems back to 30cm. Pruning is not necessary in subsequent years, but cutting back dead and damaged stems will keep the plant tidy and encourage vigorous new growth.
