Petit FauconTM has an unusual 10.0cm flower made up of four vivid, purple-blue, twisted petals with a central tuft of contrasting yellow anthers which will appear on mass over a long flowering season. After flowering the blooms ripen to attractive, silvery-white seed heads. Another variety raised and introduced by Raymond Evison of the UK, Petit FauconTM has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. 

The compact, non-clinging habit of this variety make it ideal for planting in containers or growing through rose bushes.

PRUNING GROUP 3

Pruning will help keep your clematis vines healthy.  Pruning the dense tangle of stems opens the remaining shoots to air and light which encourages healthy growth and reduces the incidence of rot and disease.

This variety belongs to Pruning Group 3 and will flower in summer on new growth from the current growing season. Pruning of group 3 Clematis is needed to prevent your plant ending up as a tangled mess of old and new growth and the blooms only appearing on some areas and not appearing in others. Prune your Group 3 clematis back to around 30cm above the ground or to a set of healthy, strong buds close to ground in early spring.
