Clematis flowers and climbing stems growing over a garden support.

Clematis

Clematis offer a wide range of flower shapes, colours and flowering times for walls, fences, arches, pergolas and scrambling through suitable shrubs.

Clematis adds a large amount of flower and vertical colour without demanding much border space. Different groups can cover walls, fences, arches, shrubs and small trees, extending interest from spring into late summer and autumn. The mild Irish climate suits many clematis, especially where roots remain cool and moisture-retentive while the top growth receives good light. Shelter from severe wind is useful for larger-flowered cultivars and helps prevent stems being damaged against supports.

Clematis for Irish Gardens

What This Collection Brings to the Garden

Clematis adds a large amount of flower and vertical colour without demanding much border space. Different groups can cover walls, fences, arches, shrubs and small trees, extending interest from spring into late summer and autumn.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

The mild Irish climate suits many clematis, especially where roots remain cool and moisture-retentive while the top growth receives good light. Shelter from severe wind is useful for larger-flowered cultivars and helps prevent stems being damaged against supports.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choose clematis by flowering season, eventual vigour and pruning group as well as flower colour. Compact cultivars suit smaller supports, while vigorous types need a substantial wall, pergola, fence or host shrub.

Planting and Care

Pruning depends on the clematis group, so check the individual cultivar before cutting back. Keep young plants watered in dry weather and tie new growth loosely to its support until it begins to climb independently.
