It is a dependable climber that enhances pergolas, trellises, fences, and obelisks with elegant vertical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis variety produces large, star-shaped blooms in deep violet to purple-blue shades, often accented by a slightly lighter central stripe. Flowering typically occurs in two waves, with the first display in late spring to early summer and a second flush in late summer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘The President’ grows as a vigorous climbing plant, reaching approximately 2 to 3 metres once established. It climbs by wrapping its leaf stalks around available supports and is well suited for training through shrubs or up garden structures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor best results, plant in full sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil that remains evenly moist. As with most clematis, it prefers shaded roots and sunlit upper growth. Mulching around the base or planting low-growing companions helps maintain favourable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis clematis flowers mainly on older wood, so pruning should be light. Remove dead or weak stems and shape gently rather than cutting back heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor gardeners seeking reliable flowering and enduring colour year after year, ‘The President’ remains a distinguished and dependable classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crooijmans \u0026 Zn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56510921245020,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/5842\/0465\/files\/clematisthepresidentII.jpg?v=1772708788","url":"https:\/\/www.tuincentrum-vanvliet.nl\/products\/clematis-de-president-2l","provider":"Holland Kertészet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
