Description
Clematis 'Etoile de Malicorne' produces large mauve-pink star-shaped flowers with purple stripes in the centre of the petals. It blooms generously in late spring and again in late summer. With a modest size, it is perfect for containers and is ideal for small gardens. This small climber will cling to a trellis, a bush, or a teepee.
Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. They can be found in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, and North and Central America. The variety 'Etoile de Malicorne', obtained in France in 1968, is a perfectly perennial and hardy plant that is semi-woody and climbing. It will reach 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft) in height, with a minimum spread of 1.5m (5ft). This clematis bears large, fully open flowers, easily exceeding 15cm (6in) in diameter. They appear on the previous year's shoots in June, and again in September on the current year's shoots. The flowers are solitary. They have 6 broad oval-shaped overlapping tepals. The centre of the flower is adorned with a beautiful crown of cream stamens. The flowering is followed by the formation of decorative silvery-grey feathery fruits that persist until winter. The glabrous leaves are divided into 3 elliptical to lanceolate leaflets, of a fairly dark green colour. This deciduous foliage dries up and disappears in autumn. This clematis clings to its support or the host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.
Plant your clematis together with climbing roses to prolong the flowering period of walls and pergolas until the end of summer. It is a diverse genus, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Etoile de Malicorne' will pair well with the white flowers of climbing roses, Clematis 'Superba' clematis, or C. 'Miss Bateman', for example. They will look wonderful climbing a fence or covering a wall exposed to the morning sun.
Avoid use of excessive fertiliser, as this stimulates foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Do not mulch in order to avoid excessive moisture.

Planting and care
Clematis 'Etoile de Malicorne' will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded position. Plant it in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). Clematis wilts in overly wet soil. Work the soil and lighten it with good compost and coarse sand. Plant it with the rootball at an angle, covering it with 3cm (1in) of soil. After planting, prune the clematis stems to about 30cm (12in) above a pair of buds. Water regularly and generously during the first few weeks. Do not overwater, as stagnant water can lead to the development of fungus at the base of the plant.
Mulch in February with garden compost or well-decomposed manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems.
Train the stems, without tightening them, until the plant grips by itself. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants.
After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of wilting, while encouraging vigorous shoots from the stump.
Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential parasites.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
