Overview
An exceptional mid-season clematis. Blooms are rich, dark velvet red with rounded tepals slightly overlapping. Stamens consist of deep red filaments and yellow anthers. Flowers from late spring to late summer. Compact and slender, this variety is well suited to container growing but can also be grown in the garden.
Although pruning group 2 is recommended, pruning group 3 can also be applied but this results in the loss of early flowers.
Clematis ‘Westerplatte’ is a large-flowered mid-season clematis (Pruning Group 2) that flowers in May to June. It should be lightly pruned in late February or March as well as after the first flush of flowers in summer. It should not be heavily pruned or flowering shoots will be lost. Remove dead or weak stems before growth begins and then check the remainder of the stems individually from the top down until a pair of healthy buds is reached: prune just above them, removing the spindly or damaged growth above
Then prune again after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second flush of flowers later in the season. Prune back some stems by cutting to large buds or a strong side shoot immediately below the spent blooms.
