The Clematis 'Niobe' is a variety of clematis with large flowers, known for its early and extended flowering, its compact habit that is well-suited for container gardening, and its very large velvety flowers that are particularly dark red, almost black when they first open. They bloom from the end of May and throughout the summer on a small climbing vine with a bushy, dense, and compact habit, adorned with abundant deciduous medium green foliage. Its purple flowers are perfectly complemented by grey or silver-leaved shrubs and look stunning in country-style bouquets.
Clematis belong to the family of Ranunculaceae. They are found in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, and North and Central America. The 'Niobe' variety, resulting from hybridisation, is a Polish creation dating back to 1970. It is a perfectly perennial, semi-woody climbing plant that will reach an average height of 2.50 m (8ft), with a minimum spread of 1.50 m (5ft). This clematis bears very large star-shaped flowers, measuring 12 to 15 cm (5 to 6in) in diameter, which appear on the current year's shoots from May to June, and continue blooming in successive waves until the end of summer. The flowers, larger during the first flush, are solitary or grouped in clusters. They have 4 to 6 rather thin and tapering sepals, which are very dark red when they first open, then fade to magenta. The centre of the flower is adorned with a beautiful bouquet of yellow stamens. The flowering is followed by decorative silvery-grey feathery fruits that persist until winter. The glabrous leaves are divided into 3 small leaflets of a vibrant green. This clematis clings to its support or the host plant using petioles transformed into tendrils. Â
Plant your clematis alongside your climbing or rambling roses ('New Dawn', 'Mme Caroline Testout', 'Zéphirine Drouhin') to extend the flowering of your walls and pergolas until the end of summer. It is a diverse genus, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their ease of cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. Train this Clematis 'Niobe' to climb a silver-leaved willow (Salix repens argentea), an Elaeagnus, or an Olearia Traversii (if you live in a region with mild winters): the colour combination is superb!Â
Tips : Avoid excessive fertilisation, as it stimulates foliage growth at the expense of flowers. In heavy soils, avoid mulching to prevent excessive moisture.

Botanical data
The Clematis 'Niobe' will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded location. Plant it in a fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, shading the roots and the base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). The clematis wilts in excessively wet soil. Plant it, with the root ball at an angle, covering it with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in a worked soil, lightened with good compost and coarse sand. After planting, cut back the clematis stems to about 30 cm (12in) from the base above a nice pair of buds. In the first few weeks, water regularly. However, be careful not to let the water stagnate as this can cause a fungus to develop at the collar. Mulch all clematis plants in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant can grip on its own. Clematis plants also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants. After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, this will reduce the risk of wilting while promoting the growth of vigorous shoots from the stump. Voles and grey worms can attack clematis plants and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential parasites of clematis plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
