Description
Note: All of our 1 gallon size Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants
The Niobe Clematis began its journey in Poland during the 1970s and continues to charm to this day as a favorite among the hybrids with a very long bloom period. Beginning in late spring to early summer, velvety, large and abundant ruby wine red blooms with lovely contrasting ivory stamens put on a spectacular show in the landscape. A second round of smaller flowers emerge on new growth and continue to early fall. The stunning flowers really hold their color well through the season.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 8 to 12 feet high and spreading 4 to 6 feet or more in width, the Niobe Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and red theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 5 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 2
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.
An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.

A very healthy plant once again, which i have learned to associate with the fact it is from Wilson Bros. I have ordered from several different online nurseries as i have been landscaping a back yard which has previously been void of life. It is a thrill to receive all the boxes from Wilson Bros, something i have not had the privilege across the board from multiple number of onlline nurseries. Hurrah to Wilson Bros, and even though this project is over, if i am ever in the market for more plants Wilson Bros will be the first one i contact, plus their stock is kept more current and available, and certainly have found multiple unique plants that i don’t think i would have ever found in any of the local nurseries plus i felt those nurseries were very picked over and without many plants that perhaps they would might have had in the spring after their initial orders for the year. Thank you Wilson Bros.——————————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
