Hyde Hall™ Evipo009

An Evison/Poulsen cultivar introduced at Chelsea in 2004 as part of the Bicentenary Plant Collection. Large early flowering cultivar. Creamy white flowers, with a hint of green and pinkish brown anthers. This compact, free-flowering plant is ideal for growing in a container for the patio or small town garden. Its flowers are off-white with sometimes green or pink tinges to the sepals and they are 5 – 7 inches, 12.5 – 18 cms, in diameter and are borne on the previous season’s stems from May to June. The stamens are light chocolate brown, giving a good contrast to the sepals. It cannot be considered a good repeat flowering plant, this is offset by the sheer volume of early summer flowers. As well as being grown in a container it is rather good with other wall trained shrubs or climbers for the smaller garden.

Flowering	late spring to early summer, and early autumn
Zone	4-9

Planting Instructions

Clematis grown in containers are a beautiful way to add height to a patio or courtyard garden. Choose a container 18" (45cm) approx. diameter for a single clematis plant plus support. For larger containers consider planting two or more plants per container. When choosing a container, Terracotta or wood are the best materials.

Alternatively, choose a host plant and dig a hole about 18 inches (45cm) deep.

Bury the clematis root crown 2.5" (5cm) below soil surface.
Loosen out the clematis roots prior to planting.
Use loam based compost such as John Innes No. 3 or well-rotted garden compost.
To aid drainage provide a layer of small stones or pea gravel at the bottom of the hole/container.
Finally, plant low growing plants at the base of the clematis to provide shade for the roots.
