Clematis ‘The President’ — Climbing purple clematis
Clematis ‘The President’ is an exceptional clematis, famous for its large star-shaped flowers of a deep and velvety purple. It dresses walls, balconies, and trellises with a romantic and refined touch, while remaining easy to grow.
Floriferous and vigorous, it blooms generously from spring to late summer and attracts pollinators while enhancing your outdoor space with a natural and timeless charm.
Exposure & location
The clematis likes to have its head in the sun and feet in the shade — a golden rule for a brilliant bloom. It thrives equally well on a sunny terrace or at the foot of an east- or west-facing wall.
- Ideal: trellis, pergola, fence, or well-exposed balcony.
- Tip: cover the base of the pot with a low plant to keep the roots cool.
- Soil: rich, light, and well-drained.
Verdeia tip: mulching around the base helps retain moisture and protect roots from heat.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular without excess, especially during flowering.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week depending on temperature.
- Pruning: light at the end of winter to stimulate regrowth and new flowers.
- Maintenance: easy — it regrows vigorously from the base each year.
- Level: moderate — requires some care but offers spectacular flowering.
Avoid watering the foliage: this prevents the appearance of fungal diseases.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Clematis ‘The President’ is a climbing plant with natural elegance that instantly transforms your outdoor space. Its purple flowering pairs beautifully with green or silvery foliage.
- Visual look: romantic, poetic, and colorful.
- To pair with: jasmine, climbing roses, hydrangeas, or decorative ivies.
- Ideal pot: large terracotta container or deep well-drained pot.
- Where to place: in a pot on a terrace, on a balcony trellis, or in a garden bed.
For a spectacular effect, train it to climb along an arch or around an urban balcony railing.
Verdeia tips
- Repotting: every 2 years, in a deep and stable container.
- Substrate: mix of potting soil, compost, and sand for good drainage.
- Flowering: from May to September depending on conditions.
- Hardiness: excellent — withstands down to -10 °C.
The older the clematis, the more generous it becomes — a true gem of plant longevity.

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.
