If you are looking for a Clematis that will go the extra mile then Clematis montana ‘Fragrant Springs’ is bound to impress. This vigorous variety is a quick grower that will provide excellent coverage for disguising unattractive outbuildings or ugly fences. 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.
