Clematis Plants NZ – The Queen of the Climbers

If you're looking to add spectacular vertical colour to your garden, Clematis is one of the best flowering climbers you can grow. Known as the Queen of the Climbers, clematis produces an incredible display of large, colourful flowers that can transform fences, pergolas, arches and trellises into breathtaking garden features.

At CJ's Plants, we've selected a range of premium clematis varieties that flower at different times throughout the season, allowing you to enjoy months of colour. Whether you love the huge mauve blooms of 'The President', the elegant white flowers of 'Guernsey Cream', the vibrant red of 'Ville de Lyon', or the delicate tulip-shaped blooms of 'Princess Diana', there's a clematis to suit every garden.

Why Grow Clematis?

Few plants offer as much impact from such a small footprint. Clematis naturally climbs by twining its leaf stems around supports, making it ideal for adding height without taking up valuable garden space.

Once established, these vigorous climbers reward you with masses of flowers that can cover entire structures in colour. Many varieties also make excellent companions for roses, weaving through their branches to create stunning layered displays.

With flower colours ranging from crisp whites and soft pinks to deep purples, rich reds and vibrant blues, clematis can complement almost any planting scheme.
