Description
A sport of the immensely popular ‘Josephine’ Clematis, ‘Empress’ is a more compact and absolutely beautiful vine boasting large 5to 6 inch flowers with shades of light pink petals striped with darker pink that surround a pom pom of inner petals flaunting shades of soft green that turn to pinkish-purple and then white with age. At only 5 to 7 feet tall, Empress is ideal for growing on a trellis, fence, obelisk, post or rail, or in urns, planters or other containers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 5 to 7 feet high and spreading 2 to 3 feet in width, the Empress Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox and other posts, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers 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, pink theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 2 to 2.5 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
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 2
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.
