As the flowers age the petals become subtly striped with a deeper pink bar down the center. The first bloom cycle comes in late spring to early summer followed by second flush of flowers in late summer to early fall. Her compact size of 4 to 5 feet tall makes Abilene a fine choice for smaller garden spaces and containers. You might be happy to know she can also be grown and will flower beautifully in part shade!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClimbing 4 to 5 feet high and spreading 2 to 3 feet or more in width, the Abilene Clematis is ideal for growing on short fences and trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up.

Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAn alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years.
