This Costco garden offering features a #5 container (5.1 gallon / 19.6 liter pot) staked clematis vine in assorted varieties, ready for planting in your garden. Clematis are among the most popular and versatile flowering vines, prized for their large, showy blooms that come in a wide range of colors including purple, pink, red, white, and bi-color patterns. The assorted varieties may include well-known cultivars such as Jackmanii, Niobe, Nelly Moser, Dr. Ruppel, Multi Blue, or Ramona, each offering distinct flower colors and bloom times.

The plant arrives staked and established in a generous #5 pot, giving it a significant head start over bare-root or plug-sized plants. Clematis thrive in full sun to part shade, preferring at least 6 hours of sunlight daily, with their roots kept cool and shaded. They are best planted against a trellis, arbor, fence, or other vertical support structure, where the vines can climb and display their blooms to full effect. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, clematis are long-lived perennials that return year after year with increasingly abundant flowering. Most varieties bloom in summer, with some offering a second flush in early fall.

When planting, set the crown 2 to 3 inches below the soil surface to encourage new shoots from the base and protect against clematis wilt. Water regularly during the first season to establish a strong root system. In subsequent years, these carefree vines reward minimal care with spectacular seasonal color that attracts butterflies and pollinators.
