Growing Belle of Woking

Like all clematis, she prefers cool roots while its head is in full sun or part shade. She thrives in alkaline to neutral, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Water well after planting and keep soil moist during dry weather for the first few growing seasons.

Support by tying into wires or trellis. Group 2 Clematis should be pruned in late winter or early spring, and again after flowering in early summer.

Garden Design Ideas

The luminescent blooms combine beautifully with other clematis in deeper colours such Niobe, or a climbing rose like the glorious crimson Etoile de Hollande. At the other end of the colour palette, she is perfect for white or pastel borders alongside perennials like Peonies, Sweet Rocket and Lupin 'Noble Maiden'.
