Description

All of our 1 gallon pot Clematis vines are 2 year old plants on a trellis

One of the most stunning flowering vines in our gardens, and named as one of the Top 10 by the American Clematis Society, ‘Asao’ is a large-flowered Clematis displaying abundant, large, bold and showy two-toned bright pink flowers up to 8 inches across with each petal having a wide white bar down its center. Flowers can be single or double with overlapping petals surround a prominent tuft of yellow anthers. Truly spectacular in bloom from late spring through early summer and again in late summer through early fall. At 6 to 10 feet tall, depending on the height of the support structure, Asao is ideal for growing on arches, fences, rails, trellises, obelisks and posts, and is also suitable for containers.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 6 to 10 feet in height with a spread of 3 to 6 feet, the Asao Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, tall obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures that its vines can twine around. Can also be grown in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks, porches and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed and enjoyed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, and blue theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

The Asao Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours direct sunlight per day for best flowering and overall performance. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 2

Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each old stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
