Description

A showstopper in bloom, Gardland Tekla is a free flowering Clematis featuring large and showy 6-inch star-shaped flowers with overlapping petals in a blend of violet, red and pink shades. The first round of flowers come late spring to early summer reblooming late summer into fall. White-tipped burgundy anthers on every bloom are an extra bonus and a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds. A compact grower 5 to 7 feet tall makes Tekla ideal for use in patio containers or on fences, railings, trellises, obelisks, mailboxes and other posts.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing up to 5 to 7 feet tall and 2 to 5 feet wide, the Garland Tekla Clematis is ideal for growing in containers that can be situated on patios, decks, porches and in other outdoor living spaces where the magnificent flowers can be viewed from up close, or on a fence, trellis, obelisk, mailboxes and other posts, rails and other structures up to 7 feet tall. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart to cover fences

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Clematis tend to like sun on their vines and some shade on their roots, so we always plant a perennial groundcover plant around the base of the plant. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 3

Tekla Clematis is in pruning group 3, which consists of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet above the ground. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms. Although on some varieties you will be removing some green stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers.
