Know before you buy
This is a compact variety that reaches a mature height of approximately 4 feet and a width of 3 feet, making it well-suited for smaller spaces or containers.
Clematis prefer their foliage in the sun to produce flowers, but their roots stay cooler and healthier in the shade. You can achieve this by planting a low-growing perennial at the base of the vine or by applying a layer of mulch around the root zone.
This variety belongs to Pruning Group 2. You should prune it lightly in early spring, just as the buds begin to swell, to remove any dead or weak stems and encourage a flush of new growth.
The Boulevard Acropolis Clematis is hardy in zones 4 through 9. As a deciduous vine, it will lose its leaves in the winter and go dormant, returning with new growth in the spring.
To keep the plant producing flowers from summer through fall, be sure to deadhead the spent blooms regularly. This prevents the plant from setting seed and encourages it to put energy into producing new flowers.
Yes, its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for containers. Ensure you use a pot with good drainage and provide a small trellis or support structure for the vine to climb.
