Clematis ‘Jingle Bells’ features graceful, bell-shaped flowers that emerge in the heart of winter, when most plants are dormant. These delicate blooms, with their sweet fragrance, are soon followed by soft, fluffy seed heads that create a striking contrast against its lush evergreen leaves. Requiring minimal pruning, this variety is an ideal choice for both containers and garden borders. Height: 3m (10′). Spread: 1.5m (5′). Pruning group: 1. 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.
