Description
All of our Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants in a 1 gallon pot.
With its breathtaking color, 'Barbara Harrington' is an exceptionally beautiful, late, and free-flowering Clematis with a long bloom period from June through September. She displays abundant, single flowers with crepe-like brilliant cerise petals with recurved tips surrounding a prominent cluster of white creamy yellow anthers. A vigorous yet compact vine that can reach 8 to 10 feet in height, depending on the height of the support structure. Excellent for trellises, arches, fences, posts and rails, and the mailbox. If you're looking for a profuse bloomer with a show of color like no other, Barbara Harrington will not let you down.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 8 to 10 feet high and spreading 2 feet or more wide, the Barbara Harrington Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox posts, obelisks, poles, posts and rails, lamp posts, and other structures. She is also excellent on a trellis or obelisk for pots, planters, and other containers on or around patios, decks, and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. It is a fine addition to Clematis gardens, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 2 to 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
The Barbara Harrington Clematis is easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to partial shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate occasional supplemental water in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep, as it tends to smother the plant. See the pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 3
Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season's growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old, diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current season's vines and blooms.
