Every so often a plant comes along that just blows home gardeners and even professionals away…meet ‘Taiga’, a new Clematis that is sure to grab attention all summer long and into fall when it produces an abundance of exceptionally unique and exotic flowers that rival cactus dahlias. The fully double flowers have an exotic spikey effect as they unfurl to a spectacular rosette loaded with purple petals tipped in a creamy lime green. Climbing 6 to 8 feet high, Taiga Clematis is perfect for growing on fences, trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, railings and other structures. Great for containers.

Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.
