A beautiful Clematis from the viticella group, producing star-shaped blooms in soft lavender-blue with white stamens. Clematis ‘Justa’ is a low maintenance variety which will burst into colour from July to September. The neat and compact habit of this hardy shrub makes it ideal for patio pots and obelisks, as well as for climbing up walls and fences.Height: 1.5m (5′). Spread: 1m (3′). 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.
