(Clematis) Enjoy the large, vibrant blooms of Clematis Tekla™ Garland in your garden or patio spaces. Tekla™ Garland features large 6-inch reddish-pink blooms in early summer and again in the fall. The bright green foliage creates a bushy 5-foot vine. Compact in size, Tekla™ Garland is a great addition to smaller-scale gardens and patios. Compact enough to be grown in containers, or large enough to be grown on a small trellis, Tekla™ Garland clematis is sure to add a bright spot to the garden. Hardy in zones 4-9, clematis like to be grown in full sun to part shade locations with moderately moist soil conditions. Shading of the roots is recommended and can be done by applying a layer of mulch or planting companion plants near the base. Pruning is recommended in winter or early spring, trimming the vine back to 6 inches. Clematis color can vary based on bloom time, the amount of light they are receiving as well as humidity factors.
