Description

All of our Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants in a 1 gallon pot.

Of all the Clematis growing in our gardens, Sugar Candy is among our top favorites, for several reasons. For starters, it has the largest flowers of any variety we’ve ever grown….a whopping 7 to 9 inches, which is a sight to behold and sure to be a conversation piece. Being free flowering, you can expect a long spring to early summer bloom and a rebloom later in summer into fall. What’s more, you can grow her in full sun or nearly full shade…so there’s no excuse not to add this magnificent beauty to your garden!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 8 to 10 feet high and spreading 3 to 4 feet or more in width, the Sugar Candy Clematis is ideal for growing in either sun or shade on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Also excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and pink themed gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 2

Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each old stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
