Clematis from the SAPHYRA® range
The SAPHYRA ® Clematis range is equally suited to landscaped areas and smaller gardens.
The plants are short and well-branched, with moderate growth, and can be used on small structures (1.50 m high maximum), or as ground cover, in association with shrubs and perennials for example.
They flower abundantly from May to September-October, in sun or part-shade.
They are strong and easy to grow, with excellent resistance to disease and frost, and are easy to prune mechanically (cut back to 20 cm from the ground, and new stems will spring up naturally).
