This delicate Clematis was named after one of the most popular Popes in modern history, Pope John Paul II and was created in Poland in 1980. Clematis ‘Jan Pawel II’ has beautifully symetric, large flowers that are soft cream with a pale pink stripe and deep red anthers in the centre. 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.
