Taiga Clematis

Taiga Clematis

USDA zone 6 (may need winter protection)
Grows to 8 ft high
Flowers only on new wood. Can be cut to the ground in fall or spring.

Introduced at the 2017 Chelsea Flower Show in England, Taiga shocked the gardening world with blooms unlike any seen before on a Clematis vine. These bicolour flowers have unusual sepals that curve upward for a star-shaped bloom that looks almost like a passion flower. Unique from the moment it opens, the flower form continues to change and impress as it matures. Clematis ‘Taiga’ PBR

It’s an excellent rebloomer, so if the plant looks tired, trim it and watch it rebound quickly.

Flowers best on new shoots and stems that emerge from the ground each spring. Hard prune in late winter or early spring or anytime you want fresh growth and reblooming.
