Do you want your clematis to have a never-ending flowering season, accompanied by a festival of colors? Then simply combine the appropriate types and varieties. We present recommended clematis dream teams here.

Clematis combine according to flowering time - this is how it works

Within the multifaceted clematis family there are species and varieties that bloom at different times of the year. Since the clematis is very compatible with itself and at the same time extremely site-loyal, there is nothing to be said against a combination after flowering. The following compositions may serve as inspiration:

  • Clematis montana (flowering from May to June) with Clematis viticella (flowering from June to September)
  • Clematis abferred (flowering from April to May/June) with Clematis orientalis (flowering from June to October)
  • Clematis fauriei (flowering from May to June/July) with Clematis chinensis (flowering from July to September)

The 60 to 90 cm small campaniflora clematis, which blooms from June to September, and the Clematis Carnaby, which blooms in May/June and August/September, make a wonderful arrangement for the large tub. In large tubs with a volume of 50 liters or more, add a Clematis alpina with a flowering period from April to June and the everlasting riot of colors is perfect.

Clematis and rose - the dream pair for every garden

A picture of inimitable elegance is created when you combine the clematis with a climbing rose. Both plant species make similar demands on the location and require climbing aids. It is primarily the robust, often flowering climbers that harmonize perfectly with a clematis. The very vigorous rambler roses, on the other hand, do not leave enough space for a neighboring clematis to develop magnificently.

Ideally, you should give a rose 1-2 years to take root at the site. Only then do you plant the clematis at a distance of 100 to 150 centimeters.

tips and tricks

Experienced hobby gardeners are looking for young plants on the lookout for clematis that have emerged from grafting without the root. If the variety of clematis is grafted on the native wild species Clematis vitalba, the plant benefits from its resistance to clematis wilt. In addition, the hybrids bred in this way are more floriferous and generally more vigorous.
