Product Description

Clematis 'Princess Diana' is a truly distinctive variety, offering a profusion of tulip-shaped blooms in vivid reddish-pink tones with brighter margins and elegant cream and maroon stamens at the centre. Each flower measures around 6cm in length, creating a striking and elegant display.

This deciduous climber has a herbaceous growth habit, forming dense foliage and delivering a long flowering period from mid-summer to early autumn. It reaches up to 4 metres when fully grown, making it an excellent choice for vertical features, including obelisks, fences, and pergolas, or even weaving through mature shrubs for a natural look.

Easy to grow in a range of soil types, Princess Diana thrives in moist but well-drained conditions and will reward with strong repeat flowering and minimal fuss, making it a firm favourite for garden enthusiasts and collectors alike.
