Clematis montana Rubens (Rubens)
Description
Clematis montana rubens is one of the most floriferous and rapid growing clematis varieties. Rubens is a pinkish form of the usual white Clematis montana. All forms are vigorous rambling climbers, with twining stems that produce a mass of scented flowers in May and June. May also produce a second smaller flush of blooms in late summer. Ideal for rambling over walls and fences or up through large trees and conifers. Also makes an effective cover for old buildings and sheds. Water thoroughly during dry weather until well established. Mulch with organic matter in spring and add a general fertilizer such as bonemeal. Clematis montana (mountain clematis also Himalayan clematis or anemone clematis) is an early flowering plant of the genus Clematis. A vigorous deciduous climber, in late Spring it is covered with a mass of small blooms for a period of about four weeks. The flowers are white, four-petalled, with prominent yellow anthers. It is native to mountain areas of Asia from Afghanistan to Taiwan. Clematis montana is a popular garden plant in temperate regions, with the ability to scramble up and over unsightly features such as sheds and fences. Left unchecked it can grow to 12 m (39 ft).
