Clematis Amanda Marie

Bred by famed grower Barry Fretwell, Amanda Marie is a true red summer Clematis ready to charm visitors to your garden. In some environments, Amanda Marie has been known for lovely variegated foliage. Abundantly summer flowering, bright red blooms on a charming plant mingle nicely among shrubbery or share vertical space on an arch. Each flower features four or five sepals for a lovely pinwheel shape perfect for whimsical summer fun.

A true summer Clem, Amanda Marie can be trimmed back to about one-third of its height when flowers become smaller or fewer. Provided it has adequate water, the plant should provide you with a second crop of bright flowers. Clematis 'Amanda Marie'

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 stems 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.
