Very disappointed, struggled to emerge, thought they had perished and they are still puny today.

Description

This Collection of 3 Clematis at affordable prices, available in pots, allows all gardeners to enjoy the beauty of flowering plants while managing their budget. It brings together two excellent varieties from the Saphyra series, which are very compact, hardy, disease-resistant, and prolific, along with a botanical species that charms with its early, abundant, and delicate flowering. Their flowering period, in shades of mauve to violet, extends from March to September. Their modest growth is suitable for small gardens as well as for terraces and balconies. Plant them in rich, moist, well-drained soil.

This collection consists of:

1x Clematis Saphyra Estrella: an excellent INRA cultivar, this Clematis is more bushy than climbing and does not exceed 1 meter (3 feet) in all directions. Its foliage disappears completely in winter and re-emerges in spring with numerous leafy stems that arise directly from the stump. It blooms from June to September, with 7-8 cm (3in) diameter star-shaped flowers in a blue-violet color. Its foliage is deciduous. Perfectly hardy, it is disease-resistant.

1 x Clematis 'Saphyra® Violetta': similar to the previous one, but produces larger velvety violet flowers, reaching 10-12 cm (4-5in) in diameter.

1 x Clematis macropetala: a botanical species that is more creeping than climbing, semi-woody, reaching about 2.50 m (8ft). Its pendulous bell-shaped semi-double flowers in a blue-mauve colour bloom from March to May, and sometimes in summer. Its feathery silver fruits remain decorative for a long time. It can also be grown in a large pot.

Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. They are found in both hemispheres, particularly in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, and North and Central America. The three varieties in this collection are perfectly perennial and hardy plants. Their foliage is deciduous, forming in spring and falling in autumn. These plants cling to supports or neighbouring plants through petioles transformed into tendrils. They bloom on new shoots.

Plant these Clematis alongside your white, red, pink, or purple roses to accompany their flowering and fill in the bare ground around their base. Clematis represent a diverse genus, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. The 'Saphyra' varieties will thrive perfectly in pots on a balcony. In the garden, they will complement abelias and deutzias. Alternatively, they can spread on the ground, for example, on a bank. Place the Clematis macropetala next to your Japanese quinces, ornamental apple trees, or flowering cherries that bloom at the same time. These beautiful plants will enhance all spring-flowering shrubs.

Our advice: young plants in pots will benefit from being repotted into 20-25 cm (8-10in) diameter pots, where they should receive careful care for a few months. This will allow them to develop their root system better before planting them into the ground.

Planting and care

Plant the clematis preferably in the sun, in a fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). Herbaceous species prefer full sun and wilt in overly moist soil. Plant them by covering the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in a worked soil of 20 cm (8in), lightened with good compost. During the first few weeks, water regularly, but avoid stagnant water as it can cause collar rot. Cover the base of climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of wilting, while promoting vigorous shoots from the stump. After planting, prune the stems of deciduous climbing clematis to about 30 cm (12in) from the base, above a healthy pair of buds. Mulch in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant can cling by itself. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants. This variety flowers on new shoots, so prune it quite severely in late winter. Be aware that the young shoots attract slugs, while voles and grey worm can attack them and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whitefly are also potential parasites.
