Clematis Montana Marjorie

A stunning Montana clematis and a breeding breakthrough with superb, semi-double crem blooms suffused with pink.

‘Marjorie’ is a great choice for early season colour in the garden and the perfect choice of climber for covering unsightly fences with fabulous colour. New leaves emerge flushed with bronze and contrast magically with the creamy buds.

A proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience, you can plant this clematis in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Growing fairly quickly, you will get a fine display from ‘Marjorie’, just plant it anywhere where it can ramble – pergolas and arches or even old tree stumps are ideal – and you’ll be rewarded with thousands of pink flushed cream blooms in May and June.

Supplied as an established plant in a 7cm pot. Deciduous so no leaves October – March. Will grow to 6m (20ft) if allowed free reign.

Top Tips

• Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.
• Clematis like a cool ?root run? so try and plant so that the roots are shaded.
• If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting or use groundcover plants to keep the roots cool.

Care Guide

• Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems.
• Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leaf mould or garden compost.
• Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
• Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn. Montana Clematis should be pruned when necessary soon after blooming, removing only wood from previous years – basically a tidy up when it has finished flowering. New summer growth will bear next year?s flowers and should be trained and tied in accordingly.
