Description and Growing Information

LandscapeIt can be trained to climb a wall or fence.
PropagationBy softwood cuttings, semi-ripe cuttings or layering.
CultivationGrows in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun exposure to partial shade with the roots and base of the plant kept cool and shaded.
PestsSlugs, snails, clematis wilt and aphids. Clematis wilt is caused by the fungus Phoma clematidina with the symptoms evident through wilting leaves, leaf stalks turning black and then with the stems starting to quickly wilt. There are no chemical controls available to treat Clematis Wilt. If an infection is apparent, cut the wilted stems back to the healthy tissue. Tools used should be disinfected thoroughly and removed infected tissue should be destroyed to prevent any further soil or plant infection.
