Hudson River was developed for the global cut flower trade and now available to home gardeners. This champion performer is the perfect combination of vining and non-vining Clematis. However, you’ll love its growth habit, perfect for filling a border or spilling over a rock wall or planter. Most non-vining Clematis flowers have a nodding, downward facing appearance, but these open fully outward.

Hudson River’s sepals feature a purple tone with an attractive matte texture, contrasting with beautiful gold centers. This easy-to-grow plant will produce copious flowers for your vases and mixed arrangements. Hudson River will come again and again with deadheading or mid-season pruning. Mix Hudson River with red summer flowers for a strikingly vibrant display. Clematis Zo06137

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stem from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
