Clematis ‘Arabella’ is supplied as a strong, nursery-grown perennial plant, carefully cultivated to ensure robust establishment and long-lasting performance in UK gardens. Each plant is grown using professional horticultural methods in high-quality, nutrient-rich compost that ensures excellent drainage while retaining moisture to support vigorous root and stem development.
As a scrambling, non-clinging clematis, ‘Arabella’ has flexible, woody stems that can be tied easily onto trellises, obelisks, arches, pergolas, or allowed to weave naturally through shrubs, roses, or low-growing borders. Its scrambling habit makes it highly versatile and suitable for a range of garden styles, from formal and cottage gardens to naturalistic schemes.
Clematis ‘Arabella’ is a scrambling climber that typically reaches 2 to 3 metres in height when tied onto supports, with a spread of 1 to 1.5 metres, depending on the growing conditions.
Its flexible stems can be tied onto trellises, pergolas, obelisks, arches or allowed to scramble naturally through border plants, roses, or shrubs. The plant can also be used as a colourful ground cover, where its mass of long-flowering nodding blooms creates a striking display across low-growing garden spaces.
Its manageable habit ensures that even as a vigorous plant, it does not overwhelm neighbouring plants, making it suitable for smaller gardens, courtyards, containers, and mixed borders. Continuous flowering from early summer to late autumn adds seasonal interest and provides a stunning backdrop of colour in any garden setting.
