Description
Note: All of our 1 gallon size Clematis vines are trellised 2 year old plants
Bees Jubilee boasts a large and wonderful 6 to 8 inch diameter flower. The petals are mauve with pinkish red down the center bar to the white stamen. The wavy outer edges of the petals give the flower a lacy appearance. Bees Jubilee is a compact plant that is suited for containers and garden beds. It makes an excellent cut flower and the seedheads are beautiful too! Blooms in late spring to early summer and reblooms in late summer to early fall.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 6 to 10 feet high and spreading 4 feet or more in width, Bees Jubilee Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, mailbox pots, obelisks, poles, lamp posts and other structures. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and pink theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. 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 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.

I had ordered a clematis from another online company and it came pretty dead so I was worried about ordering from these guys but I couldn’t find any locally. The box came and it was really well packaged inside. I ordered this and another plant and both were totally fine even though they had been upside down when delivered! There was just a tiny bit of dirt but otherwise the plants were completely fine. I planted it according to the instructions and so far it is still alive and looks healthy. It’s been about a month so I’m excited to see it grow and thrive. The packaging is clearly amazing and I think the only thing I would add is maybe of the side up arrow but apparently it’s not even really needed. Ha! The plant itself looked healthy and happy right from the box and it has transferred well.——————————————Thanks for the photo, it looks great. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
