A year ago I planted a small two foot high Apple Blossom clematis and it is now six feet tall and climbing up my back fence and has lightly scented white flowers. Many clematis are deciduous but this type is evergreen and keeps its leaves year round. The flowers are about one inch across. I am looking for a Jackmanii clematis with five inch purple flowers, and which does lose its leaves each year.
In July 2017 I bought a deciduous clematis called Niobe with burgundy red blooms in spring and summer. It was dormant when I bought and planted it from a mail order nursery (Wayside Gardens) so I haven't seen the blooms yet. It has a few leaves and tendrils at the moment. Below is a photo of Niobe in bloom.
I love Clematis. That white one is gorgeous. We have three. Two go over the fence, one up a sort of obelisk. One is white. But not as bonny or scented.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, Terra! And how are your orchids doing?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteKind of like those apple blossom blooms but then I do love white flowers. Thanks for stopping by with good wishes.
ReplyDeleteHi Terra - love clematii - the way they almost always come up and bring our spring to its early life before all the other plants come out ... a wonderful time of year = enjoy your Spring and gardening - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like those apple blossom clematis. I do miss my large flower garden, lost to me when I sold my house and moved into a condo. I could get into Florida gardening more if I were here more to keep up with the watering.
ReplyDeleteIn bloom already...lucky duck.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! Hope your red one blooms soon. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and I love that it has a scent.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

That's so pretty! I have a purple one, but that soft white flower looks so delicate.
ReplyDeleteWe have several types of clematis here, including one Jackmanii. One of ours has large, bright white blooms that flowers for a long time. They are such a pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I really needed it today as we've had a string of dark, cloudy days. Your flowers brightened my day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love clematis, and yours is lovely, and the Niobe will be when it blooms too!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Wonder if they would do well in Texas?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I don't seem to get on my Blog as often as I use to since I now do Facebook. The flower is lovely. With the weather we've been having, all we could do right now is stick some artificial flowers out/ Once it warms up, we'll have some color, we hope. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Terra. I don't seem to have luck with these. When I see something like this, I wish I did!
ReplyDeleteThat Niobe clematis is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! (And a little jealous; I only have a few crocuses blooming in my yard.)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. So happy to see your spring flowers are blooming. Those are lovely!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed and beautiful springtime!
I tried a Clematis years ago and it died. Thinking of trying it again. Yours are lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! I love the big beautiful blooms they have. I wonder if they will grow in Florida! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. Makes me wonder if my (alpine) clematis on the balcony has survived the winter. No way of telling yet!!!
ReplyDeleteYours look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You have me so excited about when the weather gets warmer and the snow goes away here.
ReplyDeleteYour blossoms are heavenly! Thanks for the inspiration, can't wait!
Also, thank you for your visit and sweet comment.
Your clematis is beautiful. I had a really nice large one at our old house in Alberta, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow. That clematis is beautiful. We have no signs of spring here except for a few daffodils blooming. Mine haven’t bloomed yet.
ReplyDeleteLovely
