It’s a low maintenance plant that requires a simple pruning when its leaves die in winter. Give it full sun to partial shade and a moist root system. In turn it will pay you back with an overflowing abundance of stunning flowers. With simple, yet proper care it will bring forth a beautiful performance of blooms that are also said to be shaped like a trumpet. Fertilize once monthly using a 10-10-10 fertilizer.

This clematis is in pruning group 3, which means it blooms on new growth each summer. It will lose its leaves in the fall so be sure to prune thoroughly in winter for a healthy and full return of blooms the following summer. For winter weather that drops below freezing, protect the bases of your clematis with a heavy blanket of mulch to keep the root system healthy and happy.

Princess Diana Clematis Spacing

With proper care, your Princess Diana Clematis will grow to be 6 to 8 feet tall so they should be spaced 2‘- 3’ apart. If your plant doesn’t bloom, check the soil for adequate moisture and drainage. That along with thorough pruning should ensure a healthy and full plant in the future. Keeping its mature size in mind will help you determine where you want your garden to grow, whether it stays in containers, becomes a ground cover or shows off as a beautiful hedge.
