Clematis ‘Fujimusume’ is a striking early-blooming variety that produces large, single flowers in a beautiful shade of purple-blue, complemented by creamy yellow anthers. The blooms can reach up to 20cm (8″) in diameter and appear from June to July, with a second flush in late summer. After flowering, the plant displays decorative golden seedheads, extending its visual appeal well into the autumn months. Its exceptional beauty and performance earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. 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.
