Clematis Hagley

After a very early spring pruning, Hagley Hybrid will grow medium-to-large, bushy and floriferous—perfect for rambling through shrubs and borders. It'll bloom on new wood, so accidentally pruning away the buds isn't a big concern. The flowers pale from fully pink to nearly white as they mature, and you'll find that they color better in slightly shady spots. The Royal Horticultural Society presented Hagley Hybrid with the Award of Garden Merit for its ability to grow quickly, beautifully and hardily. Clematis 'Hagley Hybrid'

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
