Clematis
'Tumaini'
leather flower
Clematis 'Tumaini' is proof that good things often come in compact packages. This small but spirited leather flower climbs to around 1.2 metres, making it a perfect choice for patios, containers or modest trellises where larger clematis might run amok. Its mid-green foliage forms a neat backdrop to the real attraction—large, mauve-purple blooms with richly coloured dark pink centres that open in late spring and early summer. Each petal has a velvety texture and gentle wave, giving the impression that the flowers have been brushed by twilight. With a name that means hope, Clematis 'Tumaini' lives up to it beautifully, signalling the start of the flowering season with optimism and flair.
Once the first flush subsides, Clematis 'Tumaini' often surprises by sending up a second performance in early autumn, keeping borders cheerful just as other climbers begin to tire. It’s well-behaved, easy to prune, and adaptable enough to thrive in sun or partial shade—ideal for those who appreciate beauty without the high maintenance. Try pairing Clematis 'Tumaini' with climbing roses or letting it weave through shrubs for a layered, romantic look. Whether you’re training it up a small obelisk or allowing it to trail from a large pot, Clematis 'Tumaini' rewards every bit of care with charm, colour and dependable repeat performances year after year.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
