Description
With sweetly scented dogwood-like flowers that are so profuse they cover the foliage, the ‘Montana Rubens’ Clematis is one that will always give you something to look forward to. In late spring to early summer, its plethora of buds open to deliciously vanilla scented and satiny pastel pink blossoms that nearly cover the foliage, which emerges burgundy and ages to bronze-green. A vigorous grower that will quickly cover large supports such as pergolas, arches, fences or walls to a height of up to 35 feet, if the support structure is that tall. Montana Rubens Clematis is a winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 25 to 35 feet high and 15 feet or so wide, the Montana Rubens Clematis is ideal for growing on larger structures such as arbors and pergolas, tall fences and posts, and any other structure that the vines can twine around. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 15 feet apart for a solid border
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 1
Clematis in pruning group 1 flower on last year’s wood and therefore should not be cut down to near ground level (especially montanas, armandii, chrysocoma and gracilifolia which can be killed by hard pruning). They should be pruned as soon as possible after they finish flowering. Avoid pruning them after the end of July, so they have time to produce next year’s flower buds before winter sets in. This group should be lightly pruned to remove all dead and wispy growth. Additional pruning can be performed to remove three or four year old wood to reduce the bulk of the plant. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds.
