Product description

Clematis Alpina, also known as the Austrian Clematis, is a stunning deciduous climbing plant that puts on a beautiful display each spring - in April to May, its pale purple bell-shaped flowers will appear, on a backdrop of slender, delicately serrated leaves. The blooms will be followed by fluffy looking seed-heads, distinct to the Clematis plant.

As a strong, vigorous climber revered for its resilience, the ‘Alpina’ is a fantastic choice for covering up any unsightly surfaces, attractively scrambling down a tree’s branches or going up an arch or trellis for a touch of whimsy with its lavender tinted blooms.

Instructions

Top Tip

Clematis are long-living plants that don’t like to be transplanted, so choose your spot carefully and don’t move them unnecessarily.

How to Water

Water regularly throughout the first few growing seasons to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Once established, clematis is relatively drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.

How to Plant

Clematis flowers best when planted in full sun or light shade in fertile, moist but well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by weeding the area thoroughly and adding plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Dig a generous hole and position the plant so the top of the root ball is around 5cm below soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, firm down gently, and water in well.
