Description
A strong performing beauty that prefers life on the partly shaded side, ‘Hagley Hybrid’ Clematis features large and abundant flowers up to 6 inches across in shades of shell pink touched with lavender to almost white surrounding contrasting deep burgundy anthers. Absolutely breathtaking in bloom, especially when grown in a partially shaded environment. The flowers on this one don’t really like the hot afternoon sun, which is fine with us as they really glow in a shady garden. The flowers start coming very late spring to early summer and are continuous through early fall. At 8 to 10 feet tall, Hagley Hybrid is ideal for arches, fences, rails, trellises, obelisks and posts and is also well-suited for containers or rambling as a groundcover through shrubs.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 8 to 10 feet tall and spreading 3 to 6 feet or more in width, the Hagley Hybrid Clematis is ideal for growing on fences and trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, posts and other structures. It is also excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks, porches and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, pink theme gardens and butterfly and hummingbird gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
Hagley Hybrid Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. Morning and evening sun are fine but the flowers don’t like the direct afternoon sun. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 2 (or 3)
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.
An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
