How to grow Clematis integrifolia in NZ

Grow Clematis integrifolia in full sun to partial shade in well drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. It thrives in sheltered locations but tolerates NZ’s varied conditions well. Water regularly during dry spells to encourage healthy growth and continuous blooming. This clematis does not climb like others, so it performs best when planted in borders, cottage gardens, or large pots.

Clematis integrifolia care tips

Clematis integrifolia is easy to care for with minimal pruning required. Cut stems back to ground level in late winter or early spring to promote vigorous regrowth. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to enhance flower production and overall health. Mulch around the base to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the plant thrives year after year.

Clematis integrifolia size, spacing, and growth rate

Clematis integrifolia typically grows 60 to 90 cm tall with a spread of around 60 cm. It has a moderate growth rate and forms a tidy, compact clump over time. Allow about 50 to 60 cm spacing when planting to give room for its spread. Its neat growth and consistent flowering habit make it perfect for smaller spaces or feature planting in NZ gardens.
