The President' is a medium-sized deciduous climber. Single cupped flowers up to 18cm in width, with eight overlapping rich violet purple-blue sepals, silvery on the reverse with pinkish and deep red stamens. Flowers late spring to early summer and late summer to early autumn.
Plant in well-drained soil and avoid over-watering. Keep consistently moist, watering when the top 1-2” of soil is dry to the touch.
The President clematis is in pruning group 2, which means it blooms on both new and old growth. Prune after the first flush of flowers have faded to encourage a new batch of blooms. Prune again in late winter or early spring to keep the plant tidy, healthy, and in flower.
Contact with skin can cause dermatitis for people and animals. Ingesting clematis 'The President' can cause stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, and mouth ulcers. Contact either poison control, or your veterinarian, immediately. 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.
