The following varieties are suitable for the garden. They are reliable, easy to grow and multi-blooming, usually over a long period.
The Guernsey Clematis Nursery has bred and introduced these varieties over a few years. They have proved to be a good addition to any garden.
This unusual clematis has a flower that resembles a passion flower, with six creamy white (in summer) outer sepals, creamy green in autumn, which are overlapping making a fully rounded flower, especially as the tips of the sepals re-curve back. The outer sepals are offset by a dramatic central boss of purple petaloid stamens, creating a pom-pom effect. These remain for a week or more after the outer sepals have fallen away.
Flowering | early summer to early autumn |
Zone | 6-9 |
Height | 2-3m (6-10ft) |
Clematis grown in containers are a beautiful way to add height to a patio or courtyard garden. Choose a container 18" (45cm) approx. diameter for a single clematis plant plus support. For larger containers consider planting two or more plants per container. When choosing a container, Terracotta or wood are the best materials.
Alternatively, choose a host plant and dig a hole about 18 inches (45cm) deep.
