Clematis viticella 'Panther' has the natural robustness and long summer flowering of Italian clematis, but this variety produces larger flowers, of an intense violet colour. They bloom for several weeks from June on a robust plant that can reach up to about 3m (10ft). This hardy climber is resistant to diseases. It will be satisifed with well-worked ordinary garden soil, and will live for many years in the garden.
Â
The genus Clematis belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. 'Panther' is a French horticultural variety from Javoy nurseries. It is a hybrid derived in particular from Clematis viticella, native to southern Europe. It is a group 3 clematis that flowers in summer on the current year's growth. It is a semi-woody and climbing perennial plant, which will reach 2.5 to 3m (8 to 10ft) in height with a spread of 1.5m² (5ft²).
From June to September, 'Panther' bears single flowers, 10 to 12cm (4 to 5in) in diameter. They appear mainly in the upper half of the vegetation. The flowers are solitary, erect, and fully open. Each one has 6 rather narrow, slightly wavy and undulate sepals, of a deep violet colour. They are open on a bouquet of yellow stamens. The light green leaves are divided into ovate to lanceolate leaflets. The deciduous foliage dries in winter. This clematis clings to the support or to the host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.Â
Plant your clematis alongside climbing roses to extend the flowering period of walls and pergolas until the end of summer. It is a genus rich in diversity, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of the ease of cultivation of the viticella group varieties to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Panther' is easily grown in the garden. Choose a sunny exposure and plant it in ordinary soil. It will tolerate dry summers better than large-flowered clematis. Let it climb over a shrub with a different flowering time, such as lilac, bamboo Fargesia, or Black Tower elder with purple foliage, for example. It forms a beautiful duo with the red flowers of Clematis 'Voluceau'.

Botanical data
Ideally, plant in full sun, in fairly fertile, well-tilled and well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). Clematis from the C. viticella species are robust, less demanding in terms of soil, less temperamental than large-flowered clematis, and less susceptible to wilt disease. They also perform much better in hot and dry summers.
Work the soil to a depth of 20cm (8in), lightened with good quality compost. Plant it by covering the root ball with 3cm (1in) of soil. Cover the base of climbing clematis with a small mound of soil to reduce the risk of wilt and encourage new shoots from the stump. After planting, cut back the stems of deciduous climbing clematis to about 30cm (12in) from the base, above a pair of buds. Water regularly and generously during the first few weeks. Do not overwater, as stagnant water can lead to the development of fungus at the base of the plant.
Mulch in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems.
Train the stems, without tightening them, until the plant can cling on its own. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants.
This variety blooms on the current year's growth in summer, so prune it in March to 25cm (10in) from the ground (slightly shorter on older subjects), cutting cleanly with secateurs above two large buds. A less severe pruning will help it reach larger dimensions, but it will bloom mainly in the upper part of the vegetation.
Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential parasites.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
