Description

Clematis Prinsesse Alexandra is a climbing plant that blooms from May to June and again in September. Its large flowers are soft pink with a dark pink centre, 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) in diameter. They can be single, semi-double, or double on the same plant.

The foliage is deciduous. This species can reach a height of 2.50 m (8ft) when fully grown. Clematis Prinsesse Alexandra is ideal with a low shrub or climbing rose.

This perennial can climb anywhere with the help of its tendrils. It thrives on old walls, trellises, fences, and even trees. You can also grow it in pots for terraces and balconies.

Planting and care

The clematis requires full sun to be fully appreciated. It can also be placed in a partially sunny location. Keep the base in the shade and the head in the sun. You can shade the base of your plant with a ground cover plant or a perennial geranium. A bark mulch helps maintain soil moisture. It prefers light, fertile soil that is not too dry or too wet, and above all, well-drained. Plant your plant by covering the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in soil that has been worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), enriched with good compost. The clematis hates excess moisture. Water it well during the growing season, a little at a time and not directly on the base. Stagnant water can cause fungus at the base of clematis. The Prinsesse Alexandra clematis does not need any particular pruning. However, you can cut it to 40 cm (16in) from the ground in early spring to make it denser and increase its flowering. Clematis attach themselves using their tendrils. To help them grow, provide them with trellis support or help them dress up the trunk of a tree by placing a wire mesh. Clematis also enjoy freely growing on neighbouring plants. They can be susceptible to fungal diseases (such as leaf spots), especially in winter.
