Description
Clematis viticella ‘Glorious Red’ features stunning deep red, velvety flowers adorned with contrasting yellow stamens for a striking visual appeal. The ‘pin-wheel’ blooms consist of slender petals and can reach 8-10cm in diameter. This versatile climber can scramble through shrubs, climb supports, or decorate an obelisk in a patio container. With regular deadheading, it will produce a continuous display of flowers from summer into autumn. Pruning group: 3. Height: 2.5m (8.2ft). Spread: 1.5m (4.9ft).Growing Information: Start by potting up clematis plants until they are ready for their final locations. Choose a spot in full sun or semi-shade, and plant deeply in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, with the rootball top positioned 7.5cm (3") below the soil surface to encourage new shoots from the base. Clematis prefer neither overly wet nor dry soils; improve soil quality by adding well-rotted manure or garden compost. When growing in patio containers, use a soil-based compost like John Innes No. 3. Train clematis onto suitable supports, such as trellises, wires, or freestanding climbing frames.
