Two Seasons of Rich Bloom Every Year!
Blooms reach 6 inches across!
One of the most dazzling Clematis ever developed, 'Mrs. N. Thompson' doesn't skimp on the blooms! The first flush occurs in late spring, while most other Clematis are still waking up. Then 'Mrs. N. Thompson' rests during the hottest months, only to rebloom heavily in early fall. A terrific double-feature performance! The blooms measure 4 to 6 inches across, with slender, pointed petals of deep violet-purple. Each petal is generously scored with a bright red stripe and accompanying veining, giving the bloom a nice combination of dark and bright shades. Clematis is a perennial vine just ideal for growing up columns, mailboxes, and shrubs and trees. A traditional companion to Roses, it is also splendid alongside Dogwoods and Viburnums. It prefers full sun or light shade and, once planted, does not like to be uprooted. Keep the roots cool with a summer mulch. 'Mrs. N. Thompson' is a Group II pruning Clematis, so should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches from the ground in early spring.
