Rubens Clematis
Product Description: Rubens Clematis
Soft Pink Cloud
Clematis Rubens, Clematis montana \’Rubens’, is a Chinese species that produces masses of soft pink 2. 5″ flowers that look very attractive against the dark bronze-green foliage.
It was awarded Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit!
Clematis montana \’Rubens’ needs a supporting structure to grow properly and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread. It looks beautiful growing through large trees or conifers and can obtain a height over 10 feet!
Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Prune only after flowering is completed by removing any weak or dead stems
Clematis \’Rubens’ is a reliable performer once established: it take a season or two to get going!
The first Clematis to bloom each year, theClematis \’Rubens’ has a vanilla-like scent that is absolutely unforgettable!
