The flowers of Adam's Courage Clematis really are something to appreciate. As a reblooming clematis, Adam's Courage produces flowers that can change depending on the time of year. In early summer, the blooms tend to be lavender to purple, whereas later in the season they can be more of a deep violet. Either way, this clematis is ideal for adding some color and height to your garden.
Blooming on both old and new wood means this clematis repeatedly flowers all season long. Growing to around 5 to 6 feet tall, Adam's Courage is perfect for growing in a border or a larger patio container where it can be enjoyed. Use a trellis, fence or obelisk for it to scramble over. A new introduction for 2023, Adam’s Courage was developed at Donahue’s Greenhouse, a clematis specialist in Minnesota.
Adam's Courage Clematis Care
For the best blooms, Adam's Courage Clematis should be grown with its flowers and foliage in full sun and its root in the shade. It prefers fertile, loamy soil that is deep and kept moist, but is also free draining. Frequent watering is necessary to keep the soil moist, but not overly wet, which clematis does not tolerate. To ensure a healthy supply of nutrients, you can apply a mulch of organic matter and a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring.
The Adam's Courage Clematis is a group 2 clematis. In early spring, simply trim off any deadwood and tie in the new shoots as they develop.
Adam's Courage Clematis Spacing
When established, Adam's Courage Clematis can reach a height and spread of 5 to 6 feet by 2 to 3 feet. A spacing of at least 2 to 3 feet between plants is advisable to allow this clematis space to grow and not compete with other plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
