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 ‘Kilian Donahue’   

Embroidered by decorative clusters of burgundy-tipped white anthers, giant 5 in. wide blossoms are a florist’s dream and a gardener’s boon. Prolific bicolored blooms manifest ever-changing hues as they mature and fool you into thinking two different Clematis are twined together. Newly unfurling pink tepals are boldly striped in plush ruby red shades and later the bands develop orchid-tinted borders and brilliant fuchsia hues, which mellow to a pronounced pink, while the background eventually adopts a warm lavender cast.

With its unique summer-long floral display, handsome deciduous greenery and relatively small stature, this phenomenal Clematis is tailor-made for containers or intimate spaces in a front and center patio position.

Blooms June – September.

Size: 8'–10' high & spreading; hardy to zone 4.
