Jackson & Perkins Clematis Tumaini

Yes, this variety is specifically bred for small spaces. Its compact four-foot height and manageable spread make it an excellent candidate for large pots or containers on a patio or balcony.

Clematis Tumaini is a repeat bloomer. You can expect a prolific display of violet-blue flowers in late spring, followed by a second flush of blooms in early fall.

Pruning Group 2 varieties bloom on both old wood from the previous year and new growth. To maintain the best shape and flowering, lightly prune the stems in early spring just as the buds begin to swell, removing any dead or weak growth.

Clematis Tumaini is hardy in zones 6 through 9. If you live in a climate within these zones, the plant is capable of surviving the winter outdoors, though container-grown plants may need extra root protection in colder regions.

This variety performs best in full sun to part shade. While it appreciates bright light to encourage blooming, providing some afternoon shade can help keep the roots cool and prevent the flowers from fading too quickly in hotter climates.
