How to grow Clematis macropetala Jan Lindmark

• Prefers sun or partial shade.
• Will grow in any well drained but moist, fertile soil.
• Requires support through wires, trellis or frame.
• Good trained through climbing or rambling roses with a later flowering season.

Look out for:

Macropetalas are very tough, hardy Clematis. However, they may be affected by caterpillars, earwigs and aphids. Hand pick where possible, spray if infestations get heavy.

May be susceptible to Clematis wilt. Avoid through mulching and good deep root cultivation. Cut out any infected stems and destroy. Disinfect your tools.

Slime flux may occasionally be a problem. Damaged stems can be infected by the bacteria causing a foul smelling ooze from the wound. Affected stems are cut back to a healthy shoot, the infected material should be destroyed. Again, disinfect your tools!
