Clematis-'The President'
Common name: Clematis
The President is one of the best repeat bloomers out there.
From late spring to mid-summer and then once again in early fall, violet-blue 7" flowers explode over this vine.
This clematis blooms first on old wood and then again on new; prune lightly in early spring to shape and remove weak growth and then prune after bloom if desired.
Make sure to have shade at its roots.
Height: 6-10
Exposure: Full sun to part
Zone: 4-8
