Clematis ‘Sally’ puts on a continuous show of large pink flowers during the summer months in a beautiful soft shade of pink. Unlike many other pink-flowered Clematis, this one doesn’t fade in the sun, in most cases the colour becomes even rosier! A lush and bushy backing of mid-green foliage sets the flowers off really well, helping to screen fences and walls or add a little extra privacy on a trellis. Being fairly compact in size, this variety is a great choice for obelisks in borders or patio containers too as well as for growing among rose bushes. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame. Feed and water frequently throughout the growing season. Pruning should be undertaken in spring before active growth begins. When pruning group 3 Clematis, cut back all of the previous year’s stems to a pair of healthy buds at around 20cm (8") above ground level. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant in order to protect the roots and conserve soil moisture.
