Everything You Need to Know About ‘The President’ clematis (Clematis) – climbing plant with large violet-blue flowers

Does the 'The President' Clematis flower in its first year after planting?

Delivered as a well-established 9 cm pot-grown plant, Clematis 'The President' can produce its first flowers in the same season it is planted, provided it receives the right exposure and watering. However, the display becomes more abundant in the second and third years as the plant fills out: this is typical of clematis, which become more spectacular each year. Flowering lasts from June to September.

How tall can the 'The President' clematis grow at maturity?

'The President' clematis grows to 2–3 metres at maturity, making it ideal for a fence, trellis, pergola or arch. Growth is rapid once the plant is established: expect it to grow 1–1.5 metres per season in favourable conditions. Provide a sturdy support at planting.

Can the 'The President' clematis be grown in a pot on a balcony or terrace?

Yes, the young Ø9 cm size is well suited for starting off in a pot. Eventually, choose a container of at least 30 to 40 litres per plant, a rich, well-draining potting mix, and install a support (trellis, obelisk, or mesh) at planting. In a pot, watering is more frequent than in the ground, and a flowering plant fertiliser from March to September supports blooming. Keep the pot in the shade, with the top of the plant in the sun.

How to prune Clematis 'The President' without losing its flowers?

Clematis 'The President' belongs to size 2: it flowers on the previous year's wood and on new shoots. Prune lightly at the end of winter, before the growing season: remove dead or frost-damaged stems and moderately shorten the others above a pair of buds. Never prune severely, or you will sacrifice the first wave of blooms.

Which plants should be paired with ‘The President’ clematis in the garden?

Clematis 'The President' pairs particularly well with climbing roses, with which it shares supports and fills in gaps in their flowering. Its deep violet-blue colour harmonises with lavender, ornamental sage and perennial geraniums at the foot of a wall. To protect the base from the heat, plant a discreet ground cover (such as lady's mantle or heuchera) or grow it on a lightly flowering shrub, which it will dress with colour without outcompeting.

When to plant Clematis 'The President' in the ground?

The ideal planting time is in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October), avoiding frost and heatwaves. In practice, potted plants can be planted all year round as long as the soil is neither frozen nor scorching. Planting in autumn, when the soil is still warm, promotes root establishment before winter and prepares the plant for more generous flowering the following spring. Remember to bury the crown 5 cm deep when planting.

Is Clematis 'The President' resistant to clematis wilt?

Clematis wilt, caused by the fungus Phoma clematidina, is the main disease affecting the genus. Proper planting greatly reduces the risk: bury the crown about 5 cm below the surface, so that in the event of an attack, the underground buds allow the plant to grow back the following season. Well-drained soil and watering at the base (without wetting the foliage) also help limit problems.

The essentials about ‘The President’ clematis (Clematis) – climbing plant with large violet-blue flowers

Clematis 'The President' (Clematis 'The President'): characteristics and benefits

The Clematis 'The President' (Clematis 'The President') is one of the most popular large-flowered climbers of the genus. A great Victorian classic, with a long and generous flowering period, its flowers take on silvery highlights on the reverse, which is particularly bright. Its flowers, large, deep violet-blue single flowers with a silvery reverse and purplish-red stamens, bloom from June to September.

Where to plant Clematis 'The President'? Exposure and hardiness

Clematis 'The President' should preferably be planted in full sun or partial shade, with at least 5 to 6 hours of light per day. The golden rule for clematis applies: head in the sun, feet in the shade. A thick mulch or a low plant protects the roots from summer heat, while the rootstock, hardy down to -20°C, survives the winter without protection. Discover our full selection of climbing plants coming directly from our partner growers.

How to care for Clematis 'The President'?

  • Soil: moist, rich and well-drained. Amend with compost and bury the crown by 5 cm when planting. Avoid heavy and waterlogged soils.
  • Watering: regular during the first season, then reduced once the plant is established. In a pot, water as soon as the surface of the substrate dries.
  • Pruning: group 2, light pruning in late winter, without severe hard pruning.
  • Support: install a trellis, wire mesh or arch at planting; the clematis climbs by wrapping its petioles around thin supports.

Clematis 'The President' in the garden: flowers, foliage and associations

As the season progresses, Clematis 'The President' is covered with deep violet-blue flowers that catch the eye throughout the summer. Its deciduous, plain green foliage densely covers the support before revealing the woody stems in winter. Its moderate vigor makes it ideal for small spaces and pots.
