Clematis 'The President'
Favoured by gardeners for well over a century, this free-flowering Clematis is covered with large, violet blue flowers in late spring and again in late summer. A versatile deciduous climber, it can decorate a pillar or pergola and also makes a stunning container plant with canes for climbing.
