<i>Clematis chiisanensis</i> ‘Lemon Bells’

Hats off to the University of British Columbia for selecting this sturdy long-blooming gem from a group of South Korean seedlings. Lustrous wine-colored stems and trim trifoliate deciduous foliage host masses of pastel yellow bells described by thick prominently ridged tepals, burgundy-flushed bases and slender pointed tips, which turn outward. Arising mostly from the previous season’s wood, its nodding fairy-like flowers usher in summer, while airy silver-laced fluffy seed heads extend the enchantment.

Blooms May–June

Size: 6-1/2' – 10' 0" high x 0" & spreading wide.
