Introduced in 2014, Clematis 'Viva Polonia' bears an abundance of large, dark pink-red flowers mottled with white that become more white towards the centre, from May to July. 'Viva Polonia' means 'Long Live Poland' and its colours reflect the Polish flag.
Clematis 'Viva Polonia' is ideal for growing up a trellis, arch or pergola. It is frost hardy, and prefers a sunny position.
It is in Pruning Group Two, which means that it needs pruning in February, then again after flowering - this should result in more flowers in late summer.
