| Description | An outstanding vine with leathery, textured, green foliage and large, brilliantly colored, dark fuchsia-purple blooms. This robust, bushy grower makes a fine groundcover or quick cover for arbors, fences or tall shrubs. Roots prefer a cool, sheltered setting that allows top growth some sun exposure. Deciduous. Pruning Group: 2 |

| Design Ideas | Because of its long flowering period - from late spring to early autumn - 'Niobe' is beautiful in a mixed border of perennials and woody plants. Provide support for its twining leaf stems or let it make its own way among shrubs. Its deep red flowers won't fade in the sun. |
| Flower Color | Red |

| Companion Plants | Japanese Maple (Acer); Climbing Rose (Rosa); Daylily (Hemerocallis); Hydrangea (Hydrangea); Shasta Daisy (Chrysanthemum) |
| Care Instructions | Thrives in well-drained, lightly alkaline soil, with roots sheltered and top growth in the sun. Mulch to conserve moisture. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; reduce frequency once established. Feed regularly beginning in spring. Prune spent flowers to promote repeat bloom. Provide trellis or arbor support. Pruning Group: 2 |
