Description

Every so often a plant comes along that just blows home gardeners and even professionals away…meet ‘Taiga’, a new Clematis that is sure to grab attention all summer long and into fall when it produces an abundance of exceptionally unique and exotic flowers that rival cactus dahlias. The fully double flowers have an exotic spikey effect as they unfurl to a spectacular rosette loaded with purple petals tipped in a creamy lime green. Climbing 6 to 8 feet high, Taiga Clematis is perfect for growing on fences, trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, railings and other structures. Great for containers.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 6 to 8 feet high and spreading 2 feet or more in width, the Taiga Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and purple theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

The Taiga Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 3

Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.

healthy vines that are flowering for me already, although initial flowers are small(to be expected before full establishment). these do not like too much water, and be careful to plant top of root ball at surface so it can breathe. i planted one of them too deep and it drowned/suffocated with rains, The other is doing great. My fault but be aware not as forgiving as other plants initially at least, probably the plant i’m most excited for this season, along with avant guard.—————————————–We suggest planting everything just a little above ground level.

Having recently moved to a new house I am in the process of added plantings to the landscape. I had a perfect spot for a clematis, and after some research on the website find the Taiga Clematis, which I considered to be an excellent selection. It arrived from Wilson Bros Gardens in perfect shape, and I planted it in a spot to be easily enjoyed. The plant is already blooming as you can see in the photo. All are intrigued by the unique color and shape pattern of the double bloom. We look forward to enjoying it in the years to come.————————————————-Thanks for the photo!

The taiga clematis is beautiful, and so unique from my others. As usual with Wilson plants, this plant was large, well wrapped, with multiple blooms. It is as pictured online. The blooms are a complex mix of purple , lime green, and white. In my experience, it is very unusual to always receive such healthy plants from an online nursery.———————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Hi Folks,
I tried to attach this pic to my reviews, but was unable to do so. So here’s a shot of our two clematis. As you can see, this little Taiga (with the delicate, feathery leaves has already climbed to the top of the trellis! This little guy lost a few leaves, but survived a freeze, and then proceeded fearlessly to twine and climb his way to the top! Healthy, strong plant!
The larger leaved Armandi Snowdrift just landed running and has nearly enveloped the trellis! The elongated leaves contrast with the Taiga leaves to provide an interesting “centerpiece” for the garden.——————————————————-Thanks for the photo, I did your review for you. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

We are very pleased with our recent order with Wilson Bros Gardens ! We order 2 Formosa Indica Azaleas and 1 Taiga Clematis. Both arrived Saturday 4-16. The packing was amazing. The plants arrived unscathed. Kudos to your packing folks. The Azaleas box was sturdy enough for truck to drive over it ! We recycle. I am excited to see how the Clematis blooms. I have a purple Clematis that I have been babying for 1 year. It has huge blooms already. (I bought it at Home Depot.) we will order from your nursery from now on. Fast delivery and very well packed. So happy !
We will be ordering Japanese Maples once we get the utility folks out here. The prior owners took all of the trees down in front. We face West and it is very hot on the front of the house.
Thank you for the beautiful more mature Azaleas !——————————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The Taiga Clematis was packaged well and came quickly. It was a nice size and in beautiful condition. I planted it right away and it has a lot of new growth already. Can’t wait to see it bloom. I order from a lot of online nurseries and just recently found Wilson Bros. I have to say, their selection of plants, attention to detail in packaging and the healthy plants they send make them my new favorite.———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
