The two-toned flowers of the Princess Kate Clematis or Clematis uvaria 'Princess Kate' will turn heads. Bell-shaped flowers measure 2-3 inches across and feature dark plum outer petals surrounding white inner petals. The long white petals gently curve from the center, giving the blooms a sense of drama and contrast. The Princess Kate Clematis blooms from summer into fall. The green oval-shaped foliage narrows to a gentle point, creating a subtle backdrop for the red-hued stems and showy flowers.
The Princess Kate Clematis is a vining plant that needs a trellis or arbor for support. Plant this Clematis along a fence and watch the reaching vines engulf the structure. Getting this plant off the ground helps it thrive and makes a visually stunning impact. Hummingbirds favor the pretty flowers, but deer and rabbits tend to leave the plant alone. Grow the Princess Kate Clematis in zones 5 through 9.
Princess Kate Clematis Care
This Clematis needs full to partial sun. Ideally, the roots will be shaded, and the rest of the plant will be in the sun. Water deeply and often, but avoid soggy conditions. Plant this Clematis in rich, well-drained soil. Clematis is a heavy feeder, so give it a low-nitrogen plant food every four weeks during the growing season.
The Princess Kate Clematis blooms on new growth, so prune in late winter or early spring. Remove damaged, old, or weak growth, and prune all stems to about 3 feet long.
Princess Kate Clematis Spacing
The vining Princess Kate Clematis grows 8 to 13 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Space plants 3 feet apart so the vines have room to grow, while creating a continuous and dense look.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
