Vigorous and versatile, Clematis 'Hagley Hybrid' is a compact, large-flowered variety that produces masses of large, up to 6 in. wide (15 cm), shell pink flowers with a touch of lavender, contrasting with the deep-red anthers. Blooming from early summer to early fall, 'Hagley Hybrid' is a reliable clematis cultivar that is ideal to brighten up a shady corner, where its elegant blooms will glow like pink stars against the dark green foliage. Free-flowering, this clematis is best trained on arbors, fences, or grown over or through small shrubs. Its compact size makes it an excellent addition to small gardens and containers too.
- Thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in part shade. While sun tolerant, the best flower color is obtained in part shade. Avoid the direct, hot sun. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base.
- Hardy to zones 4-11, this clematis is incredibly free-flowering and can quickly grow up to 7-10 ft. long (210-300 cm).
- Excellent choice for trellis and can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, or arbor and is also well suited to containers. Combines beautifully with climbing roses and small shrubs.
- This Clematis belongs to the third group of Clematis – a group including Clematis which flower in late summer on growth made in that season. They should be pruned in late winter or early spring and require 'hard pruning': simply cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds about 1ft. (30 cm) above ground level before growth begins in early spring.
- Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
