Product description
Clematis ‘The President’ is a tough and attractive climber. It is notable for its large, single violet flowers which sit atop glossy, dark green foliage. The beautiful star-shaped flowers of this Clematis will normally bloom at the end of Spring and into the Summer and can also bloom a second round of flowers at the end of the Summer. Its rather compact nature means it’s a great candidate for pot or container planting, as it is easy to care for and manage and the hanging vines create a beautiful display.
Plant in retentive, well-drained soil. Keep base and roots cool and shaded and top in full or partial sun. partial sun is preferable as the flowers can fade, losing some of their vibrant colour under the constant heat.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Clematis are long-living plants that don’t like to be transplanted, so choose your spot carefully and don’t move them unnecessarily.
How to Water
Water regularly throughout the first few growing seasons to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Once established, clematis is relatively drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Clematis flowers best when planted in full sun or light shade in fertile, moist but well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by weeding the area thoroughly and adding plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Dig a generous hole and position the plant so the top of the root ball is around 5cm below soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, firm down gently, and water in well.
