This clematis pulls out all the stops and doesn’t bother being shy. Diamantina, a sport from breakout star Crystal Fountain Clematis delivers more fluffalicious petals and more blooms per stem than its sibling, yet the same amazing lilac blue color with pale yellow “fountain” center. It looks like a dahlia decided to start climbing. Considering there are two flushes of bloom, in early and late summer, and that individual flowers can last up to four weeks, that’s a near full-summer show! It attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds but less so the deer and rabbits, which is nice. As far as pruning goes, this one is easy - a light spring shaping is all you need to do. Find a special spot for this stunner.
Diamantina extends a modest six to seven-feet tall, and up to two feet wide, so will make a beautiful vertical accent on a trellis, porch pillar, light pole, stakes, tuteur, or fence. It also makes a good cut flower, so you can enjoy the flowers inside and out.
Diamantina Clematis Care
Clematis like to have their “faces in the sun and their feet in the shade,” so choose a sunny location and mulch well. Garden Crossings recommends planting hybrids like Diamantina two inches lower than it was growing in the pot to guard against clematis wilt and keep the roots warm in winter. The soil should be kept evenly moist, but not wet. Take care to water well during hot weather, especially in the first two years in your garden. Clematis are twining plants, so it can be helpful to set up a narrow stake, length of twine or wire for them to get established on a larger structure at first. Flower color can vary by location.
A top-dressing of compost or aged cow manure in early spring should fuel those flowers, but if you would like to add more, you can apply some slow-release fertilizer once in spring, or liquid fertilizer once a month from April to July.
When it comes to pruning, the diverse clematis family is…complicated. There are three groups and you need to know which group your plant falls into. Lucky for you, Diamantina is Group 2 – a simple one! Because it blooms on both old and new wood, you don’t want to do any drastic pruning. Just trim back the plant by about a foot in early spring for shaping, as well as removing any dead or broken stems.
Diamantina Clematis Spacing
Diamantina spreads across only about two feet, which would be a perfect minimum spacing to allow air circulation.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
