Magnificient Niobe Clematis in full bloom.

29 June 2006 Zone 5.My Niobe Clematis is now in full bloom, almost a mass of maroon colour. This clematis was cut back to about 10 inches in early May, so the growth is remarkable. It was going over the fence, so I pulled the top back to force it to grow sort of downward on my side of the wooden fence. Flowering is about two to three weeks after the blue clematis ( partially seen on the left in the full plant picture) and it the blooms much longer.

A few years back (won't mention how many) I had some that looked like this.

I still have about six ... lost track of trans plants.(a little difficult sometimes). But once they are established they seem to survive all kind of weather (at least in NJ). They often keep flowering for a long periods. Worthwhile putting in a few.

I have a clematis (well, actually 2) that stayed blooming right until it got cold. It's interesting because it's actually 2 types of clematis, the one you've pictured and one I don't know the name of, that are planted together and weave together as they climb. It's really pretty, and they don't seem to mind anything.

Those are beautiful! My mother has several clematis in her lawn covering an ugly chain link fence that protects a drain....she has like 4-5 that are still very young, but are doing pretty good.

Is there a way to snag some from her? Can you grow from clippings or anything with this plant? (sorry if its a very dumb question...I know you can do that with some plants though)

Probably the easiest way for you to get plants from hers would be to layer them. Bend one branch to the ground (make a bit of a trench in the soil to lay it in) peg it down cover the stem on the ground with a little soil and wait for it to grow. After it has put out a decent amount of growth cut it from its parent and plant it! Job done!
If your really want to have a go at doing cuttings here is a link that will explain how https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles0702/climber_prop.asp

Thanks for the tip! And the link. If I can talk her into trying the layering I will give the cutting a go!
