If the garden enclosure extends over sunny regions, hobby gardeners are completely wrong to shy away from greening with clematis. It does exist, the sun-loving clematis. Get to know beautiful types and varieties for the fence here.

These clematis decorate the garden fence

It's the once blooming clematis hybrids that welcome the sunshine along the fence in the garden. Over a never-ending flowering period from June to autumn, they adorn both the wooden and the wire mesh fence with huge flowers. (34.49 €) These beauties are particularly recommended:

  • Clematis texensis 'Duchess of Albany' with pink striped tulip flowers up to 8 centimeters tall
  • Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' impresses with purple flowers from June to September
  • Clematis hybrid 'Multiblue' shines with bright blue starry flowers from June to October
  • Clematis 'Fujimusume' scores with light purple flowers with a diameter of up to 18 centimeters

Clematis 'Diamond Ball' is a clematis of exquisite beauty. With half-filled flower balls in delicate light blue, the summer bloomer gives every fence a romantic flair. The breed has already been awarded a gold medal several times because it is not only beautiful, but also extremely flexible in use. So it thrives just as splendidly in a large tub with an integrated trellis.

Double flowering clematis for shady regions

When a fence spans both sunny and shady areas of the garden, the twice-flowering hybrids come into focus for the less sun-drenched locations. Nice specimens are:

  • Clematis 'Asao' with double flowers in May/June and single flowers in August/September
  • Clematis 'Dr. Ruppel' impresses with 14-16 centimeter flowers in spring and summer
  • Clematis 'Grefve Erik Ruuth' trumps twice a year with pure white magnificent flowers

In order for these hybrids to present their flowers a second time, they are simply trimmed after the first flowering. They receive the main cut after the midsummer flowering period in autumn.

tips and tricks

Combine clematis with roses on the fence and create a picturesque appearance in a class of its own. Since both climbing plants harmonize very well with each other, provided you give the rose a growth advantage of 1-2 years before you plant the clematis at a distance of 100 centimeters.
