Clematis 'Yugiri'

150-671D4 Clematis 'Yugiri'
Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	Customers have been asking for a pale bell-shaped clematis and thanks to our friends the Chikumas we now have this late hybrid from Mr. Ozawa. The 1- to 1.5-inch nodding bell flowers of Clematis 'Yugiri' (Ozawa/Chikuma, pre-2008) are very pale violet on the outside. Their recurved sepal tips reveal the white interior of the bells. The numerous flowers over an exceptionally long period, the nice pinnate foliage and the persistent sculptural seedheads all make this a terrific short vine. The name refers to a character in The Tales of Genji, the world's oldest novel. An alternative reading is 'Evening Mist'. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. June to October. 3-4 ft. Pale Violet flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 6, 7, 8, 9*
Prune hard at the end of winter.
