Clematis Carnaby

A Bold Splash of Color for Every Garden

Carnaby produces a profusion of large raspberry-pink blooms that have an intense pink central bar with crimpled margins. It flowers twice a season. It is best grown in a pot.

Vigorous Growth with a Manageable Size
Growing to a height of 1.8 meters,  Carnaby is perfect for training up planting in pots with a trellis or obelisk. Despite its strong flowering performance, it maintains a tidy, manageable habit that suits both large and small spaces. It thrives in full sun to part shade, and like most clematis, it appreciates cool, shaded roots—an easy fix with mulch or companion plantings.

Simple Care, Spectacular Results
This variety belongs to Pruning Group 2, meaning it’s easy to care for: just give it a light prune in late winter (July–August), cutting stems back to about 30 cm from ground level when dormant over winter. This encourages fresh, vigorous growth and maximizes the flower display. Its resilience and reliable blooming habit make Clematis Carnaby an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

A Proven Performer in South African Conditions
Well-suited to a wide range of South African climates, Clematis Carnaby performs best in well-drained soil with consistent moisture and good air circulation. Its long flowering season and color make it ideal for creating living walls, garden screens, or vibrant vertical accents. If you’re looking to add drama, depth, and long-lasting beauty to your garden, Clematis Carnaby delivers with flair and dependability.
