Description

Niobe Clematis is a jewel-toned showstopper, delivering intense, velvety red flowers that command attention. Its large, single blooms are a deep, rich ruby-red, appearing almost velvety in texture, and are beautifully set off by a central crown of bright yellow stamens. This vigorous vine blooms profusely from early summer into early autumn, making it a perfect choice for adding dramatic, dark color to obelisks, trellises, or fences in a sunny garden.

  • Velvety, Deep Red Blooms: Produces an abundance of large, single flowers in a stunning, deep ruby-red with a velvety sheen and contrasting yellow centers.

  • Long & Profuse Flowering: Blooms continuously from early summer well into early fall, providing a long season of dark color.

  • Vigorous & Compact Habit: A Group 3 clematis with a strong, manageable growth habit, typically reaching 6-8 ft., ideal for smaller spaces and containers.

  • Thrives in Full Sun: The rich flower color develops best and remains vivid when planted in a sunny location.

  • Easy Pruning (Group 3): Requires simple, hard pruning in late winter, cutting all stems back to a pair of strong buds about 8-12 inches above the ground.
