FAQ

• Is evergreen clematis a good choice for year-round color? Yes, the glossy green leaves provide structure all year, and spring brings abundant pink-white flowers.
• How does Apple Blossom compare to other early climbers? Earlier than many large-flowered clematis, it's both evergreen and highly scented, unlike most others.
• Will it thrive on a north-facing wall? It is best on warmer, sheltered walls but can tolerate north-facing sites in mild UK areas with protection.
• Are 2L pot-grown plants a good investment? Yes, established root systems in 2L pots promote rapid establishment and coverage.
• Best way to plant? Dig a hole twice the size of the pot, enrich the soil with compost, and plant with the crown 5cm below soil level.
