Clematis Niobe (Clematis 'Niobe') is widely regarded as the finest and most richly colored red clematis in cultivation — a breathtaking large-flowered variety prized for its deeply saturated, velvety ruby-red to dark crimson blooms of exceptional depth, intensity, and luxurious texture that set a standard of red coloring against which all other red clematis varieties are measured. Large, broad-petaled flowers in the most sumptuous, jewel-toned red imaginable are accented by a central cluster of creamy yellow stamens that provide a warm, luminous contrast of extraordinary beauty — each flower a masterpiece of color and form that commands attention on any garden structure. A vigorous and prolific repeat bloomer, Niobe produces continuous flushes of its stunning deep red flowers from late spring right through to early fall — one of the longest blooming seasons of any large red clematis — making it as rewarding in performance as it is spectacular in appearance. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner and the benchmark red clematis for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Plants arrive in 2 inch starter pots, well-rooted and ready to establish in your garden.
