In April and May, Clematis alpina 'Imke' is smothered in double, bell-shaped, nodding pink flowers creating an achingly pretty display.

The flowers are followed by attractive fluffy seed heads that add interest through late summer and autumn. This group 1 clematis requires no routine pruning, so its perfect for beginners and busy gardeners. It can be easily maintained in a large container and trained up an obelisk, or grow it in borders climbing over trellis, walls or pergolas. Pruning group: 1. Ultimate height: 2 to 2.5m (6.5ft -8.2ft). Ultimate spread: 1m (3.2ft) to 1.5m (3.2ft-4.9ft).

Pot up clematis plants and grow them on until large enough to plant in their final positions. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Position the top of the rootball at a depth of 7.5cm (3") below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. 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 armandii plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a large pergola.

Feed and water frequently throughout the growing season. Clematis alpina flowers on the previous year's growth. It requires no routine pruning but remove any damaged or dead material immediately after flowering, cutting back to healthy buds. 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.
