Clematis Mrs N Thompson - 20cm Pot

Clematis ‘Mrs N. Thompson’ is a distinctive deciduous climber producing large, rich purple-blue flowers with striking scarlet central bars. The bold two-tone blooms measure approximately 12.5 to 15cm across, creating an eye-catching display from spring through to autumn.

A relatively slow-growing Clematis, ‘Mrs N. Thompson’ reaches around 1.8 to 2.4 metres, making it a manageable choice for smaller trellises, fences and other climbing structures where its colourful flowers can be enjoyed up close.

‘Mrs N. Thompson’ belongs to Clematis Pruning Group 2, meaning it flowers on both old and new growth. Avoid hard pruning in winter, as this can remove stems carrying the first flowers of the season.

Mature size: approximately 1.8–2.4 metres high
Pruning group: Group 2

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the root zone cool and evenly moist during warmer weather while avoiding waterlogged conditions. Provide a trellis, fence or other suitable structure for the stems to climb.

As a Group 2 Clematis, prune lightly. In late winter to early spring, remove dead or weak growth and trim healthy stems back to strong buds. Light pruning after the first flowering flush can help encourage fresh growth and further flowering.

Ideal for
- Trellises and climbing frames
- Fences
