Description

A natural garden standout, the Taiga Clematis from the Southern Living Plant Collection is a true landscape beauty! The Taiga produces phenomenal double purple flowers with yellow-green tips. These gorgeous blooms create a true spectacle as they cover a considerable portion of this vine. Furthermore, an initial bloom is followed by additional blooms late into summer and fall.

Light green foliage emerges in spring and matures to a rich shade of green. This foliage will last until cold weather arrives, at which point the deciduous Taiga Clematis goes dormant for a winter slumber. However, some warmer zones may find this vine to be semi-evergreen.

This moderate grower features a reliable climbing habit and is stunning on a trellis. This Clematis can only grow around thin supports, so keep that in mind when selecting a trellis or fence. Furthermore, attaching this vine to walls requires the usage of additional supports, such as mesh, nails, or screws.

We also recommend planting this eye-catching vine in a container. Try pairing it with the Everillo Carex for a unique texture and color contrast.

At a mature size of 8' H x 3' W, expect to be wowed by an impressive bounty of blooms.

Taiga Clematis Care

Hardy from USDA Zone 6-9.

Plant in Full Sun to Part Shade. Full sun will yield more blooms, but be careful if you are located in the Southern US. Afternoon sun in particularly intense in these areas. Consequently, it can prove too harsh for this vine. Instead, plant the Taiga Clematis where it will receive morning sun and afternoon shade.

Well-draining garden soil is essential. If your soil drains poorly, try amending it with some compost. This will improve the quality of the soil, as well as providing steady food for your plant for several months.

Water regularly until established, traditionally a few months. This will help ensure its long-term success.

Fertilize in early spring with a high phosphorus fertilizer, such as a 10-30-20. This will encourage greater bloom production. After the initial application has worn off, fertilize later in the year with a balanced fertilizer to encourage further growth.

Prune dead branches and weak stems in late winter to early spring.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Our plants are adaptable but grow best in the correct USDA Zones. Click here to learn more about your USDA Zone.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Taiga Clematis Spacing Recommendations

For a seamless planting, space your Taiga Clematis 2-3 feet apart from plant center to plant center. For space between plantings, plant them 3+ feet apart to cover fences and walls.
