Blossoming with stunning violet purple hues complemented by vibrant yellow centres, exuding a silvery sheen upon opening. Sought after in the cut flower trade, this prolific cultivar thrives in gardens or containers, showcasing an exceptional abundance of flowers. This is a herbaceous cultivar and is typically clump-forming without self-clinging stems though it will merrily scramble through shrubs, open trees, roses, or obelisks. With hardiness and a penchant for trouble-free growth, ‘Hudson River’ comes highly recommended for its robust nature, quick establishment, and prolonged flowering, presenting a great choice for gardeners seeking enduring beauty in their garden idylls.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
