Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	Clematis 'Serenata' (Tage Lundell, 1960) is characterized by large deep purple flowers that measure up to 6 inches. The contrasting white filaments with yellow anthers are displayed beautifully against this dark ground. The sepals are darkest on their margins and slightly paler in their central bars. This is reported to be an open pollinated seedling of the always reliable Clematis 'Madame Edward Andre'. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. May to June; July to September. 8-10 ft. Reddish Purple flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Because Clematis 'Serenata' blooms on the previous year's wood, it is customary to prune it lightly after it has completed its first round of bloom. Be sure to feed it at that time to encourage new growth and a second round of flowers.
