Clematite - Clematis 'Destiny' (Early Large-flowered Group)

Clematis - Clematis 'Destiny' - a compact cultivar that grows very well alongside other plants. The white flowers have green stripes when they first open, which fade as the flower matures. The average flower size exceeds 10 cm.

This variety reaches a final height of about 1.5-2 meters.

Classification: Early Large-flowered Group

Growing recommendations:

Large-flowered clematis prefer good quality soil, with high nutrient levels and good moisture, but well drained – they do not tolerate waterlogged soils where water stagnates. It is recommended to improve the soil with manure or compost at planting, if possible. In the case of cultivation in drier soils that tend to dry out quickly, cover the base with a layer of shredded bark (or another type of mulch) to retain soil moisture.

Clematis generally prefer a growing space with good sun exposure.

If your clematis blooms in May-June (late spring), cut off the dead flower heads after they finish to encourage a second flowering in late summer or autumn.

Be prepared to wait a few years until your clematis reaches its best form.

First year = roots, second year = shoots and branching, third year = consistent and proper flowering.

In the cold season, the plants appear as leafless sticks that seem dry – this is perfectly normal and the plants are as healthy as can be.
