How big does clematis montana fragrant spring get?

how big does this type grow

How big does clematis montana fragrant spring get?
Montanas will just keep growing. They are the "weeds" of clematis - very hardy plants. I once really chopped my M. Rubens right back and thought I'd killed it, but no - back it came, bushier than ever!
Reply:All Montanas are prolific. You have to be prepared to cut it down in February to about a metre high.
Reply:Montana meaning 'from the mountains' is the clue that they grow so large they could almost cover one. So, unless you are willing to spend time keeping it under control or are happy to let it go and do it's thing I would suggest that you choose another.





The montana varieties flower just once in early summer, there are lots of clematis that will give a second flush of flowers.





You do not say what growing conditions you have, they are many different types of clematis so there will be one to suit where you would like to plant. Check with a specialist clematis nursery.
Reply:A clematis montana rubens in our garden covers a 15 metre high prunus amanagowa and has spread through all the branches-no chance of cutting that back!


It really depends on the position but the montana's a clue,meaning "mounting" and it'll grow as high as allowed.
Reply:Clematis Montana is huge. It can grow 25ft wide and 25ft tall
