Why Choose Clematis montana ‘Rubens Superba’ for Your Garden?
Clematis montana rubens Superba is a vigorous and floriferous climbing clematis prized for its abundant pale pink, lightly fragrant flowers that carpet the plant in late spring and early summer, creating a stunning curtain of colour.
An improved selection of the classic Rubens form, ‘Rubens Superba’ offers slightly larger, more intensely coloured blooms with a delightful vanilla‑scented fragrance that’s especially striking against mid‑green foliage.
Ideal for gardeners seeking a dramatic early‑season display with minimal fuss, this Montana clematis combines old‑fashioned charm with reliable performance year after year.
Ideal for:
Covering large walls, fences, pergolas, and garden structures
Scrambling through trees or over sheds for naturalised effect
Creating spectacular vertical interest in cottage and informal gardens
Attracting early pollinators with lightly scented blooms

Growing Tips
Planting Location
Prefers full sun to partial shade. Plant where the top growth gets sun while the roots stay cool and shaded by groundcover or mulch.
Soil
Thrives in fertile, moist, well‑drained soil. Avoid waterlogged ground and heavy clay.
Pruning
As a Group 1 clematis, ‘Rubens Superba’ needs only light pruning immediately after flowering — typically just a tidy‑up to keep it in shape.
Support
Provide strong support such as a trellis, fence, pergola, or arch. This vigorous climber will eagerly twine and clamber up structures — tie in young shoots with soft garden ties for best results.
