Browse all of our Clematis.

Delivery season: Clematis are delivered in pots year round, when in stock. It is usually best not to plant out pot grown plants in winter, but to keep them until Spring, because they will establish faster in warm soil and give you better first year growth.
Choosing a size: Small plants are cheaper and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for ornamental use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our climbing plants come in standard pot sizes.

Features:

• Size: 1-1.5m
• Colour: Red
• Scent: None/Light
• Flowering: May-Oct
• Type: Late large-flowered
• Habit: Shrub
• Pruning group 3

Growing Nubia Clematis

It will be happiest in alkaline or neutral soil. Fully hardy, it is best to plant it out of full sun in the Southern half of the island, because too much sun, especially at midday, tends to fade the colour.

Trim to tidy mature plants. Use as ground cover, trailing, or trained up a low wigwam. As with traditional clematis climbers, you could grow it up through another shrub of an appropriate size.
