Description
A compact and prolific large-flowered selection perfect for pots but also happy in the ground, ‘Fleuri’ is one of the most strikingly beautiful Clematis vines you will find. From late spring through most of the summer and into fall, large, 5 inch diameter exotic flowers that have slightly twisted and ruffled vivid violet-purple petals with reddish-pink midribs. The petals surround a spiked cluster of contrasting red anthers that open to cream. The lush foliage will climb a trellis or short fence to 4 to 5 feet high or meander through shrubs, small trees and perennials in garden beds to 2 to 3 feet high by up to 5 feet wide.
Landscape & Garden Uses
The Fleuri Clematis Clematis is a compact beauty ideal for growing up to 5 feet high on shorter fences, trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles and other structures. Can also be grown on the ground to meander through shrubs. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 2 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls; 4 feet apart in groupings when grown on the ground
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 3
Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.
