Sometimes known as 'The Princess of Wales', Clematis 'Princess Diana' bears small luminous pink, tulip-shaped flowers from early summer to autumn. It's ideal for growing up a trellis or obelisk, and may even be trained to scramble through shrubs and trees.

For best results grow Clematis 'Princess Diana' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. As with all the late-flowering clematis, 'Princess Diana' falls into Pruning Group Three: simply cut stems back to the lowest pair of buds in February or March.
