Clematis Plants

Clematis is a genus of vine that has somewhere around 300 species and is a distant relative of the buttercup. Clematis is a big favorite with gardeners due to the rich colors, varied bloom times, and for the most part, Clematis’ great climbing ability; there are only two species that don’t climb. On the whole, this genus is not typically very fragrant, but as the vines produce masses of blossoms in masses, the air around them can be quite aromatic. They are a butterfly favorite, but shunned by deer.


Clematis (pronounced kleh-MAT-tis) goes by a number of names, most of which are popular in England. The most common names for Clematis in North America are leather flower, vase vine and virgin’s bower. Clematis plants bear both single and double blooms, with many varieties producing flowers as big as your hand! Clematis are also very long-lived, so make sure to plant where you will be happy with them year after year; some Clematis vines have been growing and blooming in excess of 80 years! The “rule of green thumbs” when planting Clematis is, ‘Their feet in the shade and their heads in the sun’. Clematis should be mulched well, especially in colder climates, either with mulch or compost and will benefit greatly from being fed monthly with a complete organic fertilizer.

Show product details for Josephine Clematis Plant

Josephine Clematis Plant

Price $13.00

The 'Josephine™' Clematis Plant is a relative new-comer to the Clematis market and is the result of an accidental discovery in the 1980s. Sometimes called ‘Evijohill’, after Josephine Hill who discovered it and Raymond Evison who developed it for sale and introduced it in 1998, 'Josephine' is a double-flowered variety that marches to its own beat. The outer petals, usually numbering eight and quite large, emerge green if blooming in the shade and mauvy-pink or lilac when blooming in the sun. They will also often remain curled for days until touched by the sun’s light. The inner flower then appears and is made up of multiple layers of slender, pointed, frilly petals and varies in color from dark to light pink depending upon the amount of light and time of year. Finally, a pompom appears in the center in hues of greenish-pink to cream. Then, amazingly, one by one, the outer petals and then the inner petals fade and fall off, leaving the pompom in all its glory, that then continues to open wide and remain vital for an extended time. It is almost magical and almost impossible to describe adequately!

The 'Sweet Autumn' Clematis Plant produces masses and masses of small, 1-inch, star-shaped white flowers with an aromatic, light vanilla scent. Easily growing to 20’ in its first season, it will quickly cover an unsightly chain link fence or grow up and over an arbor frame.

The pure white, elongated, somewhat sedate base petals support the more playful, slender masses of tiny petals that surround the greenish-yellow stamens. When in full bloom, 'Sweet Autumn' is absolutely stunning! In the late fall, fluffy, plumy, silvery seed heads decorate the vine.
