Product description
A fast-growing climber and popular garden plant. The clematis is well-known as a staple climber for any wall, trellis or fence. The Clematis ‘Polish Spirit’ is a medium-sized variety with mid-green foliage and rich, deep purple single flowers with textured outer sepals which bloom from mid-Summer through to the beginning of Autumn. A great choice for a more subtle Summer colour to contrast with brighter hues.
Plant in moisture-retentive, well-drained soils and keep in full or partial sun. Prefers some shade as warmer Summers and direct sunlight for long periods may cause leaf scorch and fade the flowers colour. Keep the root and plant base cool and shaded.

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.

Instructions
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.
