Growing Clematis 'Vera'

Clematis perform best with in deep, moist soil where the soil is shaded and the vines grow into the sun, but montana are tough, tolerate shade and will cope in a northerly aspect facing an open sky, as well as coastal conditions.
Give it plenty of room and a sturdy supporting structure to ramble up (or along) where that you will be able to enjoy the fabulous spring display and fragrance.

In Your Garden Design

A vigorous variety, grow it it against a dark backdrop so that its pale pink flowers can stand out in the early summer garden. Roses are natural companion plants to clematis. Choose an equally abundant climber to go with it such as iceberg.

Did You Know?

As the name might suggest, Clematis montana come from the hills - the Himalayas to be precise - and their scented flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies and birds.

Planting Instructions

How to Grow Clematis montana Vera:

  • Give it a deep, moist spot to bury its roots into.
  • The soil needs to be a well-drained (it won't tolerate waterlogging).
  • The climber needs a supporting structure - the plant will become heavy if left unpruned.
  • Final height of 10m makes it well suited to scrambling through large trees, or covering large walls/fences.
  • Pruning group 1 - no regular pruning required. If you want to reduce their size, prune immediately after flowering.
  • All clematis like a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost in late spring.

Look out for: Aphids and caterpillars are fond of the young shoots

Follow planting instructions to minimize the risk of clematis wilt

Clematis slime flux, a bacterial infection of damaged tissue, can kill large specimens in a short period of time. It can be pruned out if spotted early.
