Clematis Pope John Paul II

From the Polish Clematis breeder Brother Stefan Francsak, a monk who has produced several outstanding new hybrids, Clematis 'Pope John Paul II' is an elegant, large-flowered climber renowned for its 4-6" (10- 15 cm) creamy white blooms with pink trails and reddish stamens. Flowering generously from early summer and repeating into late summer, the impressive blooms create a refined display over arches, pergolas, trellises and fences. Reaching 2–4 metres in height, this award-winning variety adds timeless beauty and vertical interest to cottage gardens, contemporary landscapes and patio containers.

'Pope John Paul II' in fertile, moist but well-drained soil with its roots kept cool and shaded while allowing the stems to climb into full sun or partial shade. Water regularly during dry periods and prune according to Group 2 guidelines to encourage repeat flowering. Pair with other climbing plants for a classic garden display, while underplanting with Hostas helps keep the roots cool and enhances the overall planting scheme.
