Features
'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.
This variety performs best in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for abundant flowering. Keeping the roots cool with mulch or companion plantings promotes healthier growth and longer-lasting blooms.
Clematis ‘The President’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil, benefiting from deep watering once or twice a week. Ensuring consistent moisture without overwatering supports strong root development and encourages robust flowering.
This fast-growing climber reaches 8 to 12 feet in height, making it ideal for vertical structures. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood and encourage fresh growth, leading to a fuller and more floriferous plant.
Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4-9, Clematis ‘The President’ adapts well to various climates. In colder regions, adding a layer of mulch in winter protects the roots, ensuring a strong return of growth in spring.
