Clematis Patio Samaritan Jo Boulevard 10.5cm Pot
Classy, distinctive flowers with deep magenta margins. Samaritan Jo(TM) Evipo075(N) stands out above other clematis'. Renowned for its profusive flowering and vigorous but manageable growth, if you only buy one clematis this year, this is the one. You are guaranteed colour all summer long - distinctly different flower and flowering habit!
Named in recognition of the great volunteer work that the Samaritans offer to people in distress - all volunteers are known as Samaritan Jo - this is an absolutely striking clematis, smothered in silvery-pink flowers.
This striking and unusual clematis has been bred by award-winning clematis expert Raymond Evison and was launched at the 2013 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Clematis 'Samaritan Jo' is a stunning and rewarding plant for any garden location or for growing in a container for the deck garden, patio or outdoor dining area.
This pretty, silver-pink star-shaped flowers of this Clematis have very pointed tips, and margins outlined with a delicate tracery of light purple-pink, further accentuated with a beautiful crown of purple stamens topped with the clearest golden yellow - a real sight to behold!
Top Tips
- Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.
- Clematis like a cool ‘root run’ so try and plant so that the roots are shaded. If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting or use groundcover plants to keep the roots cool.
Care Information
- Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems. Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
- Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
- Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn.
- Flowers appear on new growth, so cut back all the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, 15-20cm above soil level, before growth begins in early spring.
