Niobe Clematis
Clematis ‘Niobe’
Dramatic, velvety, and richly colored, Niobe Clematis is a show-stopping vine prized for its large, deep ruby-red flowers that appear throughout the summer. Each bloom measures 4–6 inches across and features golden-yellow stamens that contrast beautifully against the dark, luxurious petals—making this clematis a standout in any garden.
Perfect for trellises, fences, arbors, or even large containers, Niobe’s compact yet vigorous growth habit (6–8 feet tall) makes it ideal for both small spaces and larger landscape designs. It blooms in early summer and often again in late summer with a lighter flush, bringing extended color and elegance to vertical spaces.
This clematis is easy to grow in full sun to part shade and blooms on both old and new wood, giving it reliable repeat flowering with minimal care. A quick prune in late winter or early spring helps encourage new blooms and keeps the vine looking tidy.
Add bold color and vertical interest to your garden with Niobe Clematis—a classic favorite known for its stunning red flowers and reliable performance.
