Troubleshooting

Clematis is not flowering

Ensure the plant receives adequate sunlight and has been pruned correctly in early spring. Check that roots are shaded and top growth is in the sun, and ensure regular watering and feeding.

Leaves are yellowing

This could be due to overwatering or underwatering. Check soil moisture and adjust watering habits. Ensure the planter has adequate drainage.

Plant appears weak or stunted

Review pruning techniques; improper pruning can affect vigor. Also, ensure the plant is receiving sufficient nutrients through regular feeding.

No new growth in spring

Confirm that pruning was carried out correctly in early spring. Clematis 'Nubia Boulevard' benefits from hard pruning. Ensure the plant is healthy and has not been damaged by frost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Upon receiving your Clematis 'Nubia Boulevard' and Tower Pot Planter with Trellis, prepare the planter.
  2. Fill the Tower Pot Planter with a good quality, well-draining compost. Ensure it holds over 20 litres.
  3. Carefully remove the established Clematis plant from its 10.5cm nursery pot.
  4. Plant the clematis into the prepared container, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the compost surface.
  5. Water the plant thoroughly immediately after planting.
  6. Position the planter in a location that receives ample sunlight for the top growth, but ensure the base of the plant and its roots are shaded.

Compatibility:

  • This collection is designed as a complete unit, with the planter and trellis perfectly suited for the 'Nubia Boulevard' clematis.
  • It can be grown alongside other sun-loving plants with similar watering needs in adjacent containers or borders, such as lavender, ornamental grasses, or petunias.

Care:

  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer in spring and summer according to product instructions.
  • Pruning: In early spring (late February/early March), prune back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, approximately 15-20cm from the ground. This encourages vigorous new growth and abundant flowering.
  • Pest & Disease: Monitor for common clematis pests like aphids or vine weevils. Ensure good air circulation to help prevent fungal diseases.
