Description
Extremely floriferous and long-blooming, 'Adam's Courage' is a new large-flowered Clematis featuring abundant, very full flowers with overlapping petals that nearly cover the foliage. In spring to early summer, masses of flowers ranging in color from lavender to deep fuchsia nearly cover the foliage. In late summer to early fall the second round of flowers have deep violet centers fading outwards to a rich lavender. At 5 to 6 feet in height Adam's Courage is a perfect fit for smaller spaces and containers. Ideal for growing on fences, trellises, mailbox and other posts, and obelisks, or combined with a climbing rose.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and 2 to 4 feet wide, the Adam's Courage Clematis is ideal for use to climb and cover trellises, mailbox and other posts, obelisks, fences and rails and other structures. Combines beautifully with climbing roses. Also a fine selection for growing in pots, planters or tubs that can be situated on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, purple theme gardens, cut flower gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
Adam's Courage 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 2 or 3
Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. 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.
