Description
‘Margaret Hunt’ is the kind of climber that makes a garden feel finished. The foliage is glossy and evergreen, giving you a green backdrop through winter, and in spring it’s covered in clusters of creamy, star-shaped flowers that sit beautifully against dark timber, brick, or evergreen hedging.
It’s especially effective trained along wires on a wall or woven through a pergola where the flowers can hang at eye level. And because it’s evergreen, it’s a great choice for gardens where privacy and structure matter just as much as seasonal colour.
Where to plant
- Along a fence line for a living screen
- On a warm wall near the house for stronger growth and earlier flowering
- Over a pergola or arch to create a soft, green canopy
- In a large container with a trellis/obelisk for patios and courtyards
Care & planting notes
- Light: Sun to partial shade (more light generally = more flowers)
- Shelter: Avoid very exposed, windy positions
- Watering: Keep evenly moist in the first year; water pots regularly in summer
- Feeding: Spring feed + mulch for best growth and flowering
- Pruning group: Group 1
- Prune lightly after flowering to shape
- Avoid hard pruning (flowers form on older wood)
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Clematis love cool roots. A mulch at the base (or low planting like heuchera, hardy geraniums, or ferns) helps keep moisture in and makes the planting look more intentional. If you’re training it on a wall, give it wires to climb — it’ll reward you with a much fuller, more even cover.
