How to grow Clematis 'Arabella' in NZ

Grow Clematis 'Arabella' in full sun or partial shade in a free draining, fertile soil. It thrives with regular watering during dry spells and appreciates mulch to help retain moisture. In NZ, it is best planted in a sunny border, raised bed, or decorative container. Unlike climbing clematis, it produces bushy growth and does not need support to perform well.

Clematis 'Arabella' care tips

Clematis 'Arabella' is easy to care for with minimal effort. Prune it back in late winter or early spring to encourage strong new growth and abundant flowers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer to promote continuous blooming. Water regularly, especially in dry periods, and remove old flowers to extend the flowering season.

Clematis 'Arabella' size, spacing, and growth rate

Clematis 'Arabella' typically grows 3 m tall and spreads to the same width. It has a moderate growth rate and forms a dense mound of foliage covered in flowers. When planting in borders or containers, allow at least 2.5 m spacing to give each plant room to flourish. Its compact nature makes it ideal for smaller NZ gardens and patios.
