• Clematis - the president likes...
  • 
    A sunny spot

    Cath will love a partially sunny spot to show off her huge purple flowers.

  • 
    Moist soil

    Cath likes her gritty, well drained soil to stay moist, so give her a little drink if it hasn't rained in a while - just make sure her soil is dry first. Climbing walls is thirsty work.

  • 
    Pruning

    Cut her back to about 30cm in the spring so she can grow big and strong again.
