Clematis alpina 'Cragside' was raised in 1997 by the English breeder Edmund Phillips. Its nodding, bell-shaped flowers consist of four deep pink sepals about 5 cm long, enclosing a ring of roughly ten staminodes.
'Cragside' flowers from May to June, when it makes a delicate, richly coloured focal point. At around 200 cm it suits trellises, fences, obelisks and small shrubs, and also does well in a large container. It thrives in sun to partial shade – the roots and base of the plant should just stay cool and shaded.
'Cragside' is very hardy (zone 5, -28.8 to -23.4 °C). For vigorous growth and abundant flowering next year, cut your Clematis Cragside back to about 100 cm in June. Well-drained, evenly moist soil lets the plant sprout and flower reliably year after year.
