Clematis can easily be grown in small gardens on walls and fences but some are also suitable for growing in containers. The clematis shown in the photo is Clematis Fireworks. It has been in the container for almost twenty years, travelling down to Devon with us on moving, and always flowers well both in early summer and again in the autumn. If planting in a container make sure it is as big as possible, at least 24"/610mm across, and use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Keep well watered through out the growing season, feeding every 10 days with a general liquid feed.
'The Clematis Fireworks has some of the largest flowers in the Clematis world, Fireworks has two separate flushes in the season May - June then again in Sept. This Clematis can tolerate shade and will grow to around 10 feet. Fireworks can be grown in a container or the garden and has the AGM.'
