Clematis 'Ninon' is a charming compact deciduous climber from the Boulevard® series, known for its striking white flowers adorned with wavy-edged petals and vibrant red or magenta stamens. This plant blooms abundantly from early summer through autumn, providing a continuous display of elegance in any garden setting.
The climbing nature of 'Ninon' is complemented by its twining leaf stalks and lush green foliage, making it an attractive choice for various vertical spaces. Each flower measures approximately 10 cm (4 in) across, showcasing a pure white hue that contrasts beautifully with its colorful stamens. While the blooms are not particularly fragrant, they are highly appealing to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
This clematis thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy in the UK down to -10°C, it is suitable for trellises, fences, containers, or small garden areas. For optimal growth, it is recommended to prune in late winter or early spring, as well as after the initial flowering period, to encourage further blooms. The plant typically reaches a height of 150 cm (59 in) and a spread of 120 cm (47 in).
Pot up clematis plants and grow them on until large enough to plant in their final positions. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Position the top of the rootball at a depth of 7.5cm (3") below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers use a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Train clematis plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a freestanding climbing frame.
