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 chiisanensis ‘Lemon Bells’   

Hats off to British Columbia’s University Botanical Garden for selecting this long blooming, citrus-hued gem from a group of South Korean seedlings. Wine-colored stems and sturdy, trifoliate deciduous foliage host masses of pastel yellow bells described by thick, ribbed tepals, burgundy bases and slender, pointed tips that turn outward.

Arising mostly from the previous season’s wood, its fairylike flowers welcome in summer, while ethereal fluffy seed heads extend the enchanting composition.

Blooms May–June.

Size: 6-1/2'–10' high x 0" & spreading; hardy to zone 6.
