Clematis 'Hagley Hybrid'
late large flowered clematis (group 3)
The delicate mauve-pink cup-shaped flowers with reddish-brown centres of 'Hagley Hybrid' can grow up to 10cm across from July to September. This vigorous, large flowered clematis is ideal for a north-facing site. A compact variety useful where space is limited, it is best in partial shade since the pretty flowers fade in strong sunlight. Combine with Rosa 'Rambling Rector' and Solanum crispum 'Glasnevin' for a vigorous swathe of climbing colour over large arbours and pergolas.
How to care for Clematis Hagley Hybrid:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser.
