Niobe Clematis Plant Care Instructions: Plants do best with a climbing support and with a few inches of mulch to keep their roots cool. Flowers are produced on new growth only, so plants can be prunned back 12-16 inches after each round of flowers are done. Plants should be pruned back hard in early spring before the new growth begins.
