Add a touch of dramatic elegance to your garden with this set of four Clematis 'Niobe'. Widely regarded as one of the best dark-flowered Clematis varieties, 'Niobe' is famous for its stunning, velvety ruby-red blooms that appear nearly black when they first open. These deep, rich flowers are beautifully contrasted by bright yellow centers, creating a luxurious focal point for any outdoor space.
Each of the four plants is delivered at a height of approximately 65cm in a 15cm pot. Perfect for covering fences, trellises, or walls, these climbers will provide a spectacular vertical display of color from late spring through early autumn.
