Clematis montana 'Marjorie' - Queen of climbing plants

Clematis montana 'Marjorie' is a vigorous and exceptionally beautiful variety from the Montana group, appreciated for its delicate semi-double pink flowers and abundant blooming.

It is a fast-growing deciduous climber that can reach 6-8 m in height. The leaves are trifoliate, green, with bronze-reddish shades when young. The flowers appear in May-June (sometimes later than other Montana varieties), are large (6-8 cm), star-shaped, semi-double, pale pink-cream that becomes a more intense pink towards the center, with inner petals darker in color (pink-salmon or pink-purple). They have a light, sweet, and pleasant fragrance.

Main features:

• Size: 6-8 m height, vigorous growth
• Flower type: delicate semi-double pink-salmon, 6-8 cm (in mature specimens). Initially white, then gaining color.
• Flowering period: May – June
• Fragrance: light, sweet, and pleasant
• Pruning group: 1 (prune after flowering)
• Hardiness: very good cold resistance (down to -25°C)

Simple and practical care:

• Light: full sun or partial shade (top in sun, roots in shade)
• Soil: rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline
• Watering: moderate, keep soil slightly moist
• Pruning: immediately after flowering (remove overly long or dry shoots)
• Support: pergola, fence, wall, arch, or tree

An excellent choice for quickly covering pergolas, fences, or walls. It offers a delicate pink cloud in late spring and is less invasive than other Clematis montana varieties. Looks stunning combined with other climbing plants or shrubs!
