Such an unusually shaped flower with Clematis 'Princess Diana'. Instead of the more common large open-faced blooms this attractive variety of clematis has trumpet shaped magenta pink flowers that are narrow at the base then flaring as a star shape that gives a view of the contrasting stamens. The overall effect is as beautiful as it's namesake. Clematis 'Princess Diana' is a late flowering texensis cultivar which will be in flower from mid-summer through to autumn. The maintenance is minimal as all that is required is that it's cut back to almost ground level to ensure yearly displays. Height: 4m (12'). Spread 1m (3'). Pruning group 3.

They will flower in August and September, and slowly die back underground. keep dry and frost free over Winter for bigger and better displays next year.
