This is a herbaceous cultivar and is typically clump-forming without self-clinging stems though it will merrily scramble through shrubs, open trees, roses, or obelisks. With hardiness and a penchant for trouble-free growth, ‘Hudson River’ comes highly recommended for its robust nature, quick establishment, and prolonged flowering, presenting a great choice for gardeners seeking enduring beauty in their garden idylls.
How to care for Clematis Hudson River ('Zo06137') (PBR):
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
