Description
- ‘Romantika’ is a vigorous climbing clematis which produces an abundance of highly-impressive, single flowers throughout summer into early autumn
- This plant is all about contrast – cordate, mid green leaves are juxtaposed beautifully against the intensely purple, showy blooms. These themselves feature an element of striking contrast, with bright, lemon yellow anthers protruding from the centre of each flower once opened
- This much-loved hybrid variety was originally bred in the 1980s by Uno Kivistik, a pioneering Estonian clematis breeder who named well over 100 different hybrid varieties during the course of his life
- A fully hardy plant, this clematis is one seriously tough cookie and will withstand temperatures down to -20°C
- Pruning group 3 – prune hard (cutting to a healthy bud 30cm from the ground) in February or March
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
