'Empress™ is a spectacular compact, free-flowering plant that displays well in containers or small gardens. Clematis 'Empress™' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs, over walls, cover stumps, and make perfect cover ups for unsightly service areas. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis 'Empress™' is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going! * Container clematis * Large double flowers * Long blooming
