Clematis ‘Niobe’
at Digging Dog
Simple and beautiful, Clematis includes over 300 named cultivars and even more wild species than the rose. Our selections offer opulent blossoms, attractive, carefree foliage, and ornamental seed heads, in exchange for a minimum of attention. Use them to cover just about every stump and dead tree, as well as on trellises, arbors, pergolas, walls and tall shrubs. They prefer to be planted slightly deep in cool,
well drained soil, with mulch or a ground cover to shade their feet; provide a support and let them climb.
Medium Band. Clematis ‘Niobe’ 
For its hardy, manageable habit and its quantities of large, opulent long blooming flowers amid green tapered deciduous leaves, this celebrated Clematis earned the coveted RHS award in 1993 and worldwide notoriety. Single and flat-faced, nearly 6 in. wide blooms showcase 6 to 8 rich as velvet, ruby-red tepals, which are broad at the base, narrowing toward the tip and clutched in the center by sprightly yellow stamens, while aging to the color of a fine red wine.
Poland’s Wladyslaw Noll bred ‘Niobe’ whose compact form can be partnered with climbing roses or featured as a regal specimen in a mixed bed or in a container.
Blooms June – September. Size: 6'–7-3/4' high & spreading; hardy to zone 4. Clematis ‘Niobe’ (t-0253)
Each $16.75
