Clematis

Simple and beautiful, Clematis includes over 300 named cultivars and even more wild species than the rose. Our selections offer opulent blossoms, attractive, carefree foliage, and ornamental seed heads, in exchange for a minimum of attention. Use them to cover just about every stump and dead tree, as well as on trellises, arbors, pergolas, walls and tall shrubs. They prefer to be planted slightly deep in cool, well drained soil, with mulch or a ground cover to shade their feet; provide a support and let them climb.

Medium Band.

Clematis montana ‘Freda’ full sun  partial shade

Cultivated by Mrs. Freda Deacon, ‘Freda’ is the proud recipient of the RHS’s Garden Merit Award, and once you see her delectable colors you’ll understand why. Spangled across lavish chocolate and purple bronzed leaves, her satiny buds and 2 in. bright cherry-pink, Anemone-like flowers deliver a profuse performance. Rounded tepals wear darker margins, while gathered around sprightly lemon-yellow anthers. Tinged with burgundy, the young stems sprout handsome foliage that manifests hints of green as the flowers melt away. This Clematis is a little less vigorous and better suited for a smaller space.

Blooms May–June.

Size: 15'–20' high x 0" & spreading; hardy to zone 6.
