150-750-1 Clematis 'Night Veil'
Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	Clematis 'Night Veil' (Masashi Iino, 1997) is a Japanese cross between C. florida var. sieboliana and C. 'Rubra'. This is not disimilar to the cross made by Lemoine in 1883 between C. florida and C. viticella which resulted in C. 'Venosa Violacea'. In fact, when we first saw this bloom, we thought it was a very young, cool season bloom of 'Venosa Violacea'. However, its smallish, 3 to 3.5- inch flowers are more rounded and darker, with netted veining on the surface of the sepals. The sepal margins are randomly crimped. The contrasting filaments are white with dark purple anthers. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. June, July, August, and September. 6-8 ft. Red Purple flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 6, 7, 8, 9*
Hard prune this at the end of winter and feed to encourage new growth and bloom.
