Clematis 'Proteus' is an eye-catching cultivar with mauve-pink flowers. It can also endure partial shade, making it beneficial for those difficult north-facing positions. In June and July, the large blooms are double, with a second flush of single blooms in late summer that lasts until September. This early-blooming, large-flowered Clematis has a sleek habit that makes it ideal for growing in borders or containers. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 1m (3') Pruning group: 2.
