Clematis Octopus

Clematis macropetala ‘Octopus’ is a rather fine climber which produces nodding flower heads in a light purple. These have spidery, spiky petals arranged around an inner collection of stamens and this has the effect of making them seem semi-double.

– Flowers appear from late spring through to early summer.
– Flowers turn into attractive seedheads.
– Can grow to a height of up to 250cms.
– Needs little or no pruning, as for Group 1.
– Just prune to retain the shape and size that you prefer.
– Always ensure that Clematis roots are in the shade.
– Can cope with most aspects in a garden from sunny to semi-shady.
