Clematis Proteus – Live Starter Plants in 2 Inch Growers Pots – Starter Plants Ready for The Garden – Beautiful Lilac Flowering Vine

‘Proteus’ _ ‘Proteus’ is a compact, deciduous climber with bright to mid-green leaves and large, double, mauve-pink flowers with paler, cream to green centres blooming in early summer followed by a second flush of primarily single flowers in late summer to early autumn. Clematis can be deciduous or evergreen shrubs or herbaceous perennials, mostly climbing by twining leaf-stalks, and often with showy flowers. Some have attractive fluffy seedheads in autumn. These varieties begin to bloom in early summer, with the first flush of flowers appearing on the previous year’s growth. This is followed by a second flush flowers appearing on the new growth. These flowers will likely be smaller than the first ones and flowers that were double the first time may be single the second time. The time to prune this group is in late winter or early spring. Dead and weak shoots should be removed and the remaining shoots cut back to 6-9 inches above a couple of well-developed buds.
