Clematis ‘Niobe’ — Spectacular velvety red clematis
The Clematis ‘Niobe’ is a clematis with large velvet red flowers, spectacular and refined. Its long and intense blooming, from May to September, transforms balconies, terraces, and pergolas into true showcases of color and romance.
Compact, vigorous, and hardy, it adapts to all urban environments: in a pot, against a trellis or wall, it blooms generously all summer. An essential choice to enhance an outdoor space with elegance and intensity.
Exposure & placement
The clematis ‘Niobe’ loves light but prefers to keep its roots cool. It thrives in sun or partial shade, with a protected base and a sturdy support to climb.
- Exposure: sun or partial shade.
- Location: against a wall, trellis, pergola, or fence.
- Maximum adult height: 2 to 3 m depending on conditions.
- Soil: fertile, fresh, and well-drained.
Verdeia tip: keep the base in the shade and the top in the sun 🌞 — it’s the key to long-lasting and abundant flowering.
Blooming & decorative interest
The large flowers (12 to 15 cm) of Clematis ‘Niobe’ stand out for their velvety texture and intense red shade. Each petal reveals dark, almost purple reflections, highlighting the bright golden center.
- Flowering period: May to September.
- Flower color: deep velvet red.
- Flower diameter: 12 to 15 cm.
- Foliage: dark green, deciduous.
- Asset: prolonged and spectacular flowering.
Perfect to add a romantic and vibrant touch to a balcony, terrace, or green wall.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular during the growing period to keep the soil cool.
- Mulching: recommended to protect roots from heat.
- Pruning: light after flowering to encourage a second wave.
- Fertilizer: rich in potassium in spring and summer for abundant flowering.
- Hardiness: very good, down to –20 °C.
In a pot, ensure good drainage and regular watering — clematis likes cool soil, but not waterlogged.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
The clematis ‘Niobe’ pairs wonderfully with other climbing or flowering plants for a romantic and lively effect.
- Elegant contrast: with white or pale pink climbing roses.
- Extended blooming: combine it with Clematis armandii or C. viticella.
- In a pot: pair it with lavenders or gauras for an airy touch.
- On a pergola: creates a deep red and refined plant roof.
Pair it with silver or variegated foliage to highlight the richness of its velvet color.
Verdeia Tips
- Plant the clematis in a deep pot or well-drained soil.
- Protect its roots with a low perennial or mulch.
- Prune lightly after the first bloom to extend the flowering period.
- Use a sturdy support to guide its growth.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
