Description
Note: All of our 1 gallon size Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants
Topping out at 4 feet high by 2 feet or a little wider, The Countess of Wessex is a free flowering Clematis that will grow in part shade to shade and is perfect for smaller garden spaces and container gardens. Its abundant and beautiful 5 to 6 inch diameter flowers consist of white pointed petals with rosy pink stripes that surround a cluster of deep burgundy stamens. The bloom begins in early summer and reblooming occurs all the way into fall.
Landscape & Garden Uses
All of our Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants in a 1 gallon pot.
With its smaller stature to only 3 to 4 feet high and equally as wide, The Countess of Wessex Clematis is ideal for growing in smaller garden spaces or containers that can be situated in outdoor living spaces for up -close viewing and enjoyment. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and white theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3’ feet apart for groupings; 6 feet apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Countess of Wessex Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. See 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 make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.
