Delivery season: Clematis are delivered in pots year round, when in stock. It is usually best not to plant out pot grown plants in winter, but to keep them until Spring, because they will establish faster in warm soil and give you better first year growth.
Choosing a size: Small plants are cheaper and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our climbing plants come in standard pot sizes.

Growing Cezanne Clematis

It will be happiest in alkaline or neutral soil. Fully hardy, it is best to plant it out of full sun in the Southern half of the island, because too much sun, especially at midday, tends to fade the colour.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter whose work is credited as a key inspiration for Cubism, which got going around the time of the First World War, and Picasso held him in the highest esteem. As a great Texan artist commented in this century, "I have never seen a pear abstracted further than a Cézanne pear that kept its "pearness"."
