Clematis 'Mrs. N. Thompson'

Clematis 'Mrs. N. Thompson' has stunning bicolour flowers having both deep violet to lilac purple sepals with bright red to burgundy coloured bars on them. The purple and red Clematis flowers are 4-6 in (10-15 cm) wide and appear early in May, June, and again in September.

Clematis vines are most often planted near a trellis, patio wall, or some structure for support. They can also be planted sprawling over shrubs, stumps, or through perennial gardens.

Clematis is best planted in a location where the foliage and flowers are mostly in the sun, but the roots are kept cool and moist in the shade. Consider using mulch around the root zone in summer and fall. Pruning Group: 2

Pruning Groups:
Group 1 – Flowers only on old wood (previous year). Prune after spring flowering.
Group 2 – Flowers on both old and new wood. Little pruning should be done for woody-stemmed members of this Group. If cut to the ground or pruned in fall or spring, flowering will be reduced or delayed, but not prevented.
Group 3 – Flowers only on new wood. Can be cut to the ground in fall or spring.
