Only short entries this long weekend, as I'm taking a little break.
Clematis 'Niobe' was originally developed over thirty-five years ago by the Polish clematis hybridizer Vladyslaw Noll. For gardening information on this clematis cultivar, again turn to Missouri Botanical Garden's Kemper Center for Home Gardening web site for its entry on Clematis 'Niobe'. If you've a particular interest in Clematis, visit the International Clematis Society web site – along with a host of information, it also features a clematis of the month.

Why "Niobe"? I see no tears.

This photo is not 'Niobe' it is most likely 'Etoile Violette'
a vigorous Clematis viticella hybrid which looks a lot like 'Jackmanii' except 2/3's the size.
'Niobe' is a large flowering, dark red clematis which opens almost a black red. It also grows less than 2 m's tall, so is great in smaller places.

What country??
Posted by: Fabio at January 25, 2007 2:31 PM
Fabio, write your question in Portuguese and I'll have it translated.

Ah, sorry. Well, I haven't updated this entry yet to reflect the fact that this is much more likely to be 'Etoile Violette', as mentioned in the comments. 'Etoile Violette' has the European Clematis viticella as a parent, and it was discovered / bred in France.
