Unveiling the Beauty of Clematis 'Niobe':

• Description: Clematis 'Niobe' is a deciduous vine renowned for its stunning scarlet-red flowers, which measure 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The velvety petals of 'Niobe' unfurl to reveal contrasting golden stamens, creating a striking visual display against the backdrop of dark green foliage. This prolific bloomer produces an abundance of flowers from late spring to early autumn, adding vibrant color and charm to trellises, arbors, fences, or scrambling through shrubs and trees.
• Height: Typically grows to a height of 6 to 10 feet at maturity.
• Spread: Exhibits a sprawling habit, with a spread of 3 to 6 feet, making it suitable for covering large areas and providing vertical interest in the garden.

Maintenance and Care:

• Planting: Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil for optimal growth and flowering. Plant Clematis 'Niobe' in early spring or early autumn, positioning the root ball about 3 inches below the soil surface. Provide sturdy support such as a trellis, obelisk, or pergola for the vine to climb.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Water deeply at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Ensure that the mulch does not come into direct contact with the stem to prevent rot and pest infestations.
• Pruning: Prune Clematis 'Niobe' lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged stems and encourage new growth. Prune back stems to just above a set of healthy buds. Avoid heavy pruning, as 'Niobe' blooms on the previous year's growth.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or a fertilizer formulated for flowering vines in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application rates and frequency.
