This striking hardy climber will most certainly stop you in your tracks! Clematis ‘Avant-Garde’ is a robust variety with a vigorous habit, boasting long-flowering blooms with recurved pink-red sepals surrounding a mass of smaller, light pink centre petals. Ideal for growing through mature trees and shrubs where you can cut its stems down to just above ground level at the end of the season. Perfect for adding a splash of colour to your summer garden!Height: 240cm (94″). Spread: 200cm (78″). Pruning group 3. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Position the top of the rootball at a depth of 7.5cm (3″) below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame.
