Clematis 'Happy Diana' (Samen)
Clematis texensis 'Princess Diana' was raised in 1984 by English breeder Barry Fretwell from a cross of 'Bees' Jubilee' with Clematis texensis. Introduced at first as 'The Princess of Wales', it received its present name in 1996 to avoid confusion with an older Jackman cultivar. The tulip- to bell-shaped, waxy flowers measure 7–8 cm and are pink with white; cream stamens sit at their centre.
'Princess Diana' flowers from July to September and, at around 400 cm tall, climbs vigorously on trellises, pergolas, obelisks and wall supports; it can also be grown in a pot. It does best in a sunny, warm position but tolerates dappled shade, and it needs well-drained soil and an airy spot. As a companion to climbing roses and conifers, it adds colour in late summer.
'Princess Diana' is hardy in zone 7 (-17.7 to -12.3 °C). As a pruning group 3 variety it flowers on new wood: cut the plant back to about 25 cm every March to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowers. The Royal Horticultural Society has awarded the variety its Award of Garden Merit.

I've had it for 3 years now, it blooms tirelessly. I always cut it back hard in December, which makes it shoot even more strongly.Automatically translated · Show original
The bell-shaped flower is wonderful, as is the relatively late and then long-lasting flowering period. The young shoots from the base need protection here from late, wet and cold snow so that they don't rot.
Otherwise a completely trouble-free clematis.Automatically translated · Show original
In my garden Princess Diana is growing in its 2nd year and is already 3 metres tall. It flowers profusely and for a long time. I love the flower shape. No clematis wilt or other diseases. Pruned back to 30 cm in winter.Automatically translated · Show original
Ich liebe diese Clematis. Habe sie schon viele Jahre.
Ist sehr gesund und blühfreudig. Davon müßte es auch noch andere Farben geben.
Top-quality goodsThe young plant arrived here in superb condition, in line with the high standards of Schmid-Gartenpflanzen.
In the ideal spot in the garden, supplied with a little of my own compost and a nice climbing support, it has grown to an impressive size within a short time. It has already formed many buds and I'm already looking forward to the blooms alongside my New Dawn, which stands nearby, without crowding Princess Diana.
Thank you, Mr. Schmid, for your wide selection of clematis and roses, and for the outstanding quality: Always happy to order again!Automatically translated · Show original
My Princess Diana is very shy to flowerMy Princess Diana is basically healthy in growth. She does bloom, but disappointingly little. At most there are three flowers at the same time. Nothing of the abundance of blooms in full measure that you would expect from a clematis.
I have her on the balcony in a container, which is really very deep, as required, about 40 cm; the surface is covered with wood chippings to provide shading and at the same time no root competition from underplanting. Since the balcony faces full south, however, I moved her back a little into the covered area of the balcony, which is still quite bright. Should I expose her to full sun? Would that be better? I thought clematis, as a woodland vine, wouldn't particularly appreciate that. I'm at a loss and would be very grateful for a tip!Automatically translated · Show original
