Description of the plant:
Clematis Pamina originated in England and was bred by Colin and Pamela Terrry in 1993 but introduced to market only in 2004. It bears large flowers (18-20 cm across) with purple red tepals decorated with a thick white brim. The first flowering begins in May and continues for 4-6 weeks, and the second flush follows in August or September. It belongs to Group 2 clematis: in early spring remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins, trimming all remaining stems to where strong buds are visible. These buds provide a framework of second-year shoots that flower in late spring and early summer. We suggest pruning the plant after the spring flowering has finished by about a third or even half its size. It will re-emerge and flower again and quite reliably from August until October.
Clematis likes deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil that remains cool. You can grow a plant below clematis that will provide shade for its roots. Add garden compost in late winter and mulch it well. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
