Bring the Beauty of Clematis to Your Garden
The Will Goodwin Clematis Vine is a stunning addition to any garden, known as the ‘Queen of Vines’ for its spectacular blooms. Imagine cascades of lavender purple to light blue flowers adorning your mailbox, trellis, or porch. This easy-to-grow climbing vine brings unparalleled beauty to your landscape.
This clematis belongs to Group 2, early to midseason flowering cultivars and rebloomers. You’ll enjoy an initial flush of flowers in early summer from the previous year’s growth, followed by a second bloom on new growth later in the season. The second bloom may feature slightly smaller or single flowers compared to the first, but the overall display remains captivating.
Proper pruning is essential for healthy growth and abundant blooms. In late winter or early spring, remove any dead or weak shoots. Cut back the remaining stems to 6-9 inches above a couple of well-developed buds. This encourages vigorous new growth and ensures a beautiful floral display throughout the summer. The purple clematis is perfectly suited for zones 4-8.
