Clematis - Niobe
The Clematis ‘Niobe’, Jackmanii x group, has dark red with gold anthers blooms that flower in June to July and range in height of 6-10’ and has a spread of 3’. The red flowers are approximately 6-8” wide. Clematis ‘Niobe’ received the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society and one can see why. The foliage is dark green and makes a great contrast with the flower color. Clematis prefers full sun but will tolerate shade in the morning in a well-drained area. It is best to avoid heavy pruning on this perennial until it is fully established. Clematis ‘Niobe’ needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs. The tops of Clematis prefer full sun while their roots prefer a cool, shady area. It is best to heavily mulch the root zone to provide this cool, shady area.

Coral Bells - Strawberry Swirls They are a lovely background for the gorgeous strawberry pink flowers. What sets this plant off from the others is the very tall (30") stalks of coral-pink blooms which give off a mild fruit aroma. Strawberry Swirls will attract both Hummingbirds and bees. They look especially good around the edge of borders, woodland edges, rock gardens, perennial borders, or in mass to form an attractive ground cover.
