Striking ruby red flowers with prominent creamy white anthers.
One of the best red Clematis vines available. Blooms are huge, measuring
almost 6 inches across. A very heavy bloomer that comes into bloom
in May and keeps on showing off through July, with lighter repeated
blooming continuing into fall. Niobe is gorgeous from the time the
first buds begin to open - flowers are almost black in their first
stage, then mature to a deep ruby red that is absolutely
extraordinary. Combine Niobe with shades if purples and yellows
for an outstanding color combination. Niobe is considered by many
gardeners to be the best red Clematis on the market.
