Hello, I am The President Clematis, and I most likely was given my title of honor because I am one of the longest blooming flowering vines that you can plant in your garden. You can be sure that my rich purple star shaped flowers will be grabbing second looks in your garden from early summer, all the way to the first frost of autumn. I am low maintenance, tolerant of urban pollution and will thrive in any type of soil - my only request is that my soil is well drained - I tend to be a little dramatic about this, and will not tolerate standing water. My perfect home must be in full sunlight, and preferably near a fence or other structure that can help guide my upwards growing habit - even The President needs a little help sometimes!

Watering
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring even moisture without overwatering. Most plants prefer deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root growth. Avoid waterlogged soil by using well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes.
Soil
Choose a well-draining soil that suits your plant’s needs, ensuring it provides proper nutrients and aeration. For most plants, a high-quality triple mix—blending topsoil, compost, and peat or loam—offers a balanced foundation. Avoid heavy, compacted soils that retain excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced fertilizer as needed, following label instructions, or contact our team for guidance.
Pruning
Prune regularly to remove dead or damaged growth, maintain shape, and promote healthy, vigorous new growth. Use clean, sharp tools and trim just above a node or bud for best results.
