Clematis 'Bagatelle'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Bagatelle is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter.

Look to ensure a distance 1.48 feet (45.7 cm) between Bagatelle seeds when sowing to make sure your seedlings have enough space.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Bagatelle is a hardy plant.

Named after a castle in the Bois de Bologne outside Paris.

It was named ‘Dorothy Walton’ by Jim Fisk after the customers of his who found a specimen in her new garden. It was later realised it was ‘Bagatelle’ but the name has continued as a synonym.

‘Drossy Wollton’ was recorded in Japan in 1986 and thought to be a miss-spelling of ‘Dorothy Walton’ but there is uncertainty as the description and photograph differed.
