Clematis 'Negritjanka'

Clematis 'Negritjanka' produces rich purple flowers from late spring to early autumn, followed by spiky seedheads. The plant's compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens and for growing in containers up a small obeslisk.

Grow Clematis 'Negritjanka' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. As the plant is in Pruning Group Two, remove any dead or weak stems in late winter or early spring and cut remaining stems back to the highest pair of strong-growing buds. To encourage blooms to cover the whole plant, train the stems so that they are evenly spaced on their support. As new growth appears in mid-spring, train this to fill any gaps.
