Clematis 'Durandii'

How to grow Clematis 'Durandii' in NZ

Grow Clematis 'Durandii' in a sunny or partially shaded position with fertile, free draining soil. It prefers its roots kept cool, so mulching around the base is beneficial. Water regularly during dry periods, particularly while the plant is establishing. In NZ gardens, this variety thrives in borders, raised beds, or large pots, where it will provide a long flowering season.

Clematis 'Durandii' care tips

Clematis 'Durandii' is easy to care for and flowers reliably with minimal effort. Cut it back hard in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous new shoots that will flower strongly. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and again during summer to support continuous blooming. Remove spent flowers to prolong the display and keep the plant tidy throughout the season.

Clematis 'Durandii' size, spacing, and growth rate

Clematis 'Durandii' grows as a perennial shrub that typically reaches 1 to 1.5 metres in height and width. It has a moderate growth rate and quickly establishes in suitable conditions. When planting, allow at least 80 cm spacing to accommodate its spread. Its compact yet bold habit makes it an excellent feature for smaller spaces and mixed plantings in NZ gardens.

Landscaping uses for Clematis 'Durandii'
