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. Each vine is 18 inches to 2 feet tall.

Clematis ‘Ernest Markham’ (T-0132)

Each 22.75

Bestowed a prestigious AGM in 1993, ‘Ernest Markham’s single, 4 to 6 in. wide, rounded blossoms create a long-lasting summertime riot that delights bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and plant connoisseurs alike. The vivacious flowers, each composed of six broad overlapping, wavy-edged tepals, are vitalized by fuchsia-red hues with a velvet sheen plus frilly latte-colored anthers. Sporting a he-man persona and blooms galore, this deciduous fellow is a blaze of glory as his compound bright green leaves ramble through Hydrangea ‘Rocklin’ or over an arched threshhold.
