Product Description
This superb brand new Clematis was launched at the 2017 Chelsea Flower Show and was judged as most admired plant by visitors to the show. The fully double blooms have the appearance of cactus dahlias reaching 4in across or more. Petals are blue purple - each one delicately tipped with a lime cream splash. Opening slowly they give a spiky effect to the flowers which develop into gloriously exotic rosettes. Early to bloom Taiga flowers and flowers all summer long.
This is a real statement plant for the garden and uniquely unusual too so sure to be loved by neighbours and friends. Its the ideal plant to grow on an obelisk in a large container or in pride of place in the border scrambling up a trellis or pergola.
It's easy to care for and pruning is simple - just cut each stem back to about 30cm in spring just above a pair of buds. this encourages the new growth on which the wonderful flowers are borne. Like most clematis Taiga like a sunny spot and will do best if roots are given a little shade bu lower growing plants.

I'm watching to see how the plant took. It was, however, very difficult to get the plan out of the pot.

VERY SMALL ,VERY DELICATE CLEMATIS PLANT ARRIVED IN A BAD STATE. THE PLASTIC INNER HINGED BOX HAD OPENED . MOST OF THE COMPOST HAD DROPPED OUT INTO THE OUTER CARDBOARD BOX & THE PLANT STEM HAD SNAPPED AT ITS BASE - THE PLANT HAD EFFECTIVELY BEEN KILLED BY THE PACKAGING.A REPLACEMENT WAS SENT BUT THAT ARRIVED IN A SIMILAR STATE BUT LUCKILY NOT DEAD.THE SYSTEM OF REPLACEMENT WAS EXCELLENT. I TOLD THE CUSTOMER SERVICES ADVISOR ABOUT THE PACKING DEFICIENCIES & HE SAID HE WOULD PASS MY SUGGESTIONS UP THE LINE MANAGEMENT . IT OBVIOUSLY DID A LOT OF GOOD - THE REPLACEMENT CAME EXACTLY THE SAME !
Product:
THE PACKING NEEDS TO BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION. INSTEAD OF A FLAT RECTANGULAR OUTER BOX IT NEEDS TO BE VERTICAL & TALL WITH A SLIM SUPPORTING STAKE HOLDING THE FULL LENGTH OF THE STEM UPRIGHT & LIGHTLY TAPED TO THE STAKE. THE SMALL PLANT POT & COMPOST NEED TO BE TIGHTLY ENCLOSED IN A SMALL POLYTHENE BAG TO PREVENT THE COMPOST DISPLACING . ANYBODY LOOKING AT THE PRESENT PACKAGING WOULD ASK WHO IT WAS THAT DECIDED IT WAS FUNCTIONALLY EFFICIENT. HOW CAN A COMPANY TURN A PROFIT RUNNING A RISK TO ITS PRODUCTS & IGNORING SIMPLE COMMON SENSE - IS THIS REALLY ATOMIC PHYSICS ?
