the morning in a
well-drained area.
It is best to
avoid heavy pruning
on this perennial
until it is fully
established.
Clematis ‘Niobe’
needs a supporting
structure to grow
properly but will
also grow over large
shrubs. The tops of
Clematis prefer full
sun while their
roots prefer a cool,
shady area. It is
best to heavily
mulch the root zone
to provide this
cool, shady area.
