Clematite cu flori XL - Clematis 'John Paul II' (Late Large-flowered Group)

Clematis 'John Paul II' - Named after the Polish Pope, this clematis features pearly white-pink flowers with a deeper pink stripe that fades as the flowers mature. Severe pruning will delay flowering until fall, when it will put on a magnificent display.

Classification : Late Large-flowered Group

Cultivation recommendations :

This type of clematis prefers a good quality soil, with high levels of nutrients, moist but well-drained. It is recommended that when planting, you improve the soil with manure or compost, as much as possible. In the case of cultivation in drier soils, which tend to dry out quickly, cover the base with a layer of shredded tree bark (or other type of mulch) to maintain soil moisture.

Clematis generally prefer a growing space with good sun exposure.

It is not necessary to remove the faded flowers of these clematis, but if they seem to have finished blooming earlier than you expected, it doesn't hurt to give them a light trim to encourage new growth and a secondary bloom late in the fall.

In the cold season, the plants appear as leafless sticks that appear dry - this is perfectly normal and the plants are as viable as possible.

Note: The flowers are initially white - they generally turn color in the warm season, when the plants get sun. The size of the flowers is influenced by the maturity of the plant.
