Attractive by its refined color and its long flowering, this climber can wrap itself around a tree, on a pergola or a fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twirling plants, clematis attach themselves on their own thanks to a flexible petiole which wraps around a support. ‘Little Mermaid’, a large-flowered variety created in 2010, stands 2-3m tall in season. Its herbaceous stems with deciduous foliage are adorned, from May to June, with semi-double flowers, 8 to 12 cm in diameter. Their flesh-pink falls – a new color for clematis – are tinged with almond green on the reverse and surround a toupee of pale yellow stamens. After a short break in summer, flowering begins again in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to install it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She likes ventilated places: at the foot of a trellis, a wire fence or a pergola pillar, rather than against a wall. It can also climb a tree or grow in a tray fitted with a trellis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plant this clematis in spring by burying the bottom of the stem 15 cm deep.
Install a bushy perennial to shade its foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In dry season, water lightly but regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of winter, shorten every other branch to 50 cm from the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
