The Clematis - everyone's favourite climber and an absolute must-have to ensure the colour in your garden continues into late summer. This ‘Princess Diana’ is the perfect choice of climber to do just that, whilst covering fences with their undeniable beauty. The 'Princess Diana' is a single tulip-shaped flower that is bright reddish-pink in colour. They grow to approximately 6cm in length and showcase eye-catching cream and maroon stamens. A proven garden performer and guaranteed to be suitable choice for UK gardeners at every level of experience, you can plant this Clematis in the garden with confidence, providing stunning displays for many years to come. Growing fairly quickly, just plant them anywhere they can ramble - pergolas and arches or even old tree stumps are ideal - and you'll be rewarded with plenty of large blooms throughout the late summer season. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
Once new growth appears, pinch out young, developing shoots to a lower bud to promote further branching.
Feed in with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems.
Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn.
Prune in late winter or early spring and again after the first flush of flowers to maintain a framework of old wood.
We recommend cutting your clematis back to 30cm (1ft) the first spring after planting to encourage multiple stems which can then be tied it to create the framework for future growth.
