Description
Note: All of our 1 gallon size Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants
A vigorous and flexible climber, Mrs Norman Thompson is a floriferous Clematis producing her large flowers over a lengthy period from late spring to mid summer and then reblooming in early fall. The abundant flowers are a stunning bicolor with rich lilac-purple petals and an intense carmine red bar down the center. It will grow in full sun but we like the color better when the vine gets some filtered sun or shade in the afternoon. A compact grower up to 9 feet makes in a good fit in smaller garden spaces and containers situated on patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 6 to 9 feet high and spreading 2 to 4 feet or more in width depending on the structure, the Mrs. Norman Thompson Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and purple themed gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 2
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.
An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
