Clematis The President - Live Plant in a 4 Inch Growers Pot - Clematis 'The President' - Starter Plants Ready for The Garden - Beautiful Purple Blue Flowering Vine

'The President' is an early large-flowered cultivar that typically grows to 8-10' tall. Single, purple-blue flowers (to 7" diameter) with red anthers bloom early to mid season on old growth followed by additional late summer bloom on new growth. Dark green leaves. Showy seed heads develop in fall. With its big, richly-colored flowers, The President clematis offers great aesthetic value for its looks, alone. But as a fast-growing vine that can be trained to grow up various structures in the landscape, it has many uses that give it even more value. Clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamppost or other stationary structure. They provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens. They can also be planted to sprawl over and through shrubs, scramble over old stumps or simply as a ground cover in conjunction with other flowering perennials. Grow in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Vining hybrids are best sited in locations where the flowering parts of the vine are in sun to part shade but the roots are shaded. Some light afternoon shade is usually beneficial in hot and humid summer climates.
