Clematis The President

Clematis ‘The President’ is a striking, deciduous climbing plant known for its large, vivid purple-blue flowers that can reach up to 18 cm in diameter. Blooming from late spring to early autumn, this variety often has a second flush of flowers in late summer. The plant features contrasting creamy white stamens at the centre of each bloom. It is a vigorous grower, reaching heights of 2.5 meters, making it perfect for trellises, fences, or walls. ‘The President’ is also known for its robust nature and ability to thrive in a range of garden conditions.

Pruning Group 2

This group comprises the large-flowered cultivars that flower in May to June on short shoots developing from the previous year’s growth. Some flower again in late summer on new growth. They require only to have the flowers cut off, back to a large growth bud immediately below the flower as soon as flowering is over.  They can, if preferred, be left unpruned other than for the removal of dead shoot ends in spring.
