‘Margaret Hunt’ is a striking Clematis, that blooms from July until October. It generates bundles of large, purple flowers, that smother its fresh green foliage, upon a medium sized growing habit. Perfect for growing in a patio pot, along a wall or fence, this Old man’s beard will make a dramatic statement wherever placed and will thrive in semi shade. It will develop in height to 3m and will spread to around 1m. Clematis ‘Margaret Hunt’ is a medium-sized variety, suitable for covering an obelisk or trellis without getting out of hand. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Position the top of the rootball at a depth of 7.5cm (3″) below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame.
