Thompson & Morgan Clematis Niobe - Hardy Perennial Climber Ruby-Red Summer Flowers Compact 3X 7Cm Pots

Clematis Niobe brings a rich, dramatic colour palette to the garden with its velvety ruby-red blooms that deepen to a deep wine-red as they mature. Each star-shaped flower spans up to 15cm (6in) and features striking greenish-yellow stamens for contrast. Flowering from late spring to autumn, this compact, hardy perennial climber offers months of vibrant colour. A smaller variety, Clematis Niobe is ideal for patio containers, small trellises, and obelisks, or it can be grown at the back of borders to add height and interest. It is equally suited to covering walls, fences, or arches when trained onto a support. Plant in a sunny or semi-shaded position with moist, fertile, well-drained soil. For best results, position the top of the rootball 7. 5cm (3in) below soil level to promote healthy shoot growth. Use a soil-based compost like John Innes No. 3 for containers. Avoid soils that are overly wet or dry. Pruning group 2: In early spring, remove dead or damaged stems and prune the rest bac
