Clematis montana var. rubens 'Rubens Superba'
clematis (group 1)
A towering climber up to 8m (24ft) in height, Clematis 'Rubens Superba' boasts dark green foliage and a blossoming period in late spring and early summer. Its petite flowers, flaunting four delicate pale dusky-pink petals and prominent cream stamens, form an exquisite display.
Distinguished as an improved selection of 'Rubens,' this variety offers slightly larger blooms exuding a robust vanilla scent and adorned with light pink flowers displaying a textured surface. This vigorous and early-flowering clematis is ideal for softening building outlines, covering fences, or adorning walls, and thrives in various settings, adding beauty whether climbing mature trees or embellishing north-facing sites.

How to care for Clematis montana var. rubens Rubens Superba:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of of pebbles.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
