Clematis Giselle (Early Large-Flowered Clematis)

Incredibly beautiful, Clematis 'Giselle' is a compact, deciduous climber which produces masses of large, star-shaped, rosy-pink flowers, up to 5 in. wide (12 cm), with dark contrasting stamens. Blooming from late spring until fall, this large-flowered clematis is perfect for containers, small trellises, or obelisks.

• Thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in bright shade.
• Hardy, it is incredibly free-flowering and can quickly grow up to 4-5 ft. long (120-150 cm).
• This Clematis belongs to the third group of Clematis – a group including Clematis which flower in late summer on growth made in that season. They should be pruned in late winter or early spring and require 'hard pruning': simply cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds about 1ft. (30 cm) above ground level before growth begins in early spring.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
