Clematis ‘Viva Polonia’

'Viva Polonia' is a new, easy-to-grow clematis with large red flowers, each graced with a white star in the center. This long-blooming plant starts its display in early summer and continues to produce new wood blooms through mid-summer. It's perfect for covering trellises, railings, posts, arbors, pergolas, fences - anything that needs beautifying.

When Growing Clematis Remember the Following:

• "The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap." 
• "Feet in the shade, head in the sun" - Plant this vine where the leaves get plenty of sunshine while the roots enjoy cool shade. 
• When planting clematis, it is important to plant it 3" deeper than it was in the original pot. Bury the first set of entire leaves to encourage the production of strong shoots from below soil level and to discourage clematis wilt.
