CLEMATIS, THE QUEEN OF VINES

Clematis are very versatile. Grow them over an arbor or mixed in with shrubs,
up trees, on small structures or try the smaller varieties in pots. They are slow to become established. Give them at least two or three years. Your patience will be rewarded. Research and plant them properly. Most of them like their feet in the shade and tops in the sun. The light, temperature and environment all affect the color of the flower. Some have more than one flower form during a season. No matter what you get, you will be well rewarded by this queenly flower.

By the way, if you're wondering about the pronunciation, whether it's
"clem-atis" or "cle-mat-is," both are perfectly acceptable!

Here is a wonderful video that will give you some excellent ideas on how to use these fabulous vines in your landscape.

	ANNA LOUISE Growing approximately 8-10 feet, this stunning variety offers 5-6" violet flowers with contrasting reddish-purple central stripes and creamy-yellow anthers. Blooms freely May to June and again in August to September.
	CRYSTAL FOUNTAIN This is an early large flowered cultivar, lilac blue with a fountain like center. It is an exciting new cultivar with an unusual 4-5' double flower. It is compact, free and repeat flowering, also suitable for growing in a container, on trellises as well as through small shrubs. Blooms June-September. 5-7’
	FRAZISKA MARIA Very free flowering, compact double clematis. This double clematis far outperforms any other double clematis currently available. It produces the most beautifully shaped double flowers ever, in both old and new growth. It has many flowers per stem and has good foliage. The 4-6" blue/puple flowers with yellow anthers are full and follow a repeat flowering pattern lasting throughout the summer to early autumn. It is ideal for growing in a container. Blooms June through September. 4-6’
	FLORIDA SIEBOLDII 3–4in ivory blooms sport geometric tufts of dark-purple stamens that make for stylish contrast and call attention to each flower. It blooms singly or in clusters on new growth in June, with a second show possible in late summer. Grows 6-8 feet. Best for zone 6
	JOSEPHINE Semi-double flowers have 6-8 base petals which are a deep rose pink, tinged with green and a darker bar. Inner petals are lilac with pink bar. As the flower ages the base petals fall away giving a pompom effect. 8’, blooms July to August
	KILLIAN DONOHUE Early flowers open ruby red, mature to brilliant fuchsia with an orchid edge to 5" across. Mature flowers are pink lavender with a pink bar. Gives the appearance of two Clematis intertwined. Blooms early and repeats well through the season. Height 8-10'
	ROGUCHI The 2" bell-shaped flowers are intense deep blue/purple with lighter blue recurved petals. Flowers fade to indigo-blue. This lax clinger is fragrant and very free flowering. Blooms June thru September. 8’ Charming!
	TEXENSIS, DUCHESS OF ALBANY Pink tulip-shaped flowers with a cherry red bar. Blooms July-October. Perfect for covering large trellises. 10-20’
	EMPRESS Outer petals of this large-flowered double Clematis are pink with a dark pink bar. The narrow inner petals of Empress look like tiny pompoms. This impressive free-flowering climber will weave its way into shrubs and cover your trellis with gorgeous pink blooms that are, at times, nearly 6in wide. Blooms May-June and August. Suitable for containers at 6’
	MULTI BLUE Very double dark blue to purple 4-5" flowers. Blooms late spring/early summer and again late summer on to fall, but always double flowers. One of the best double flowering Clematis! 7-8’
	WADA’S PRIMROSE Early, Large Flowered Type. Full Sun, Partial Shade. From Wada, Japan. Very large, off white to yellowish flowers on a moderately light grower. Best in partial shade for flower color. Good for container growing! 6-8’
	KINGFISHER Exceptionally free-flowering with huge 6-7 inch flowers in late spring through early summer. The intense deep-blue flowers are breathtaking and are nicely contrasted with creamy yellow anthers. This exceptional new clematis also re-blooms heavily in late summer with slightly smaller flowers for an extended season of color. 6-7’
	NIOBE Very dark red 5" flowers are velvety and contrast well with the yellow anthers. Flowers freely from late spring to late summer. 6-8’
	ROSEMOOR A newer variety bred for hardiness, vigor and rebloom. 5in dark, wine-red blooms appear on old and new wood, which means flowering is almost non-stop from early summer to fall. One grower’s description of the color: “Plum, burgundy, purple, magenta and more – all in iridescent, velvety petals. It may be the most beautiful flower I've ever seen”.
	SWEET AUTUMN CLEMATIS: PANICULATA Fall bloomer on tall vines, perfect for pergolas or large trellises. Masses of white, sweetly scented flowers cover the vines in September and October. 15-20’
	LADY BETTY BALFOUR Very hardy, free flowering time tested variety grows to 10’. Blooms mostly in August and September. Perfect to mix with earlier bloomers on a fence or trellis.
	PINK CHAMPAGNE At 6-8 feet, it’s suitable for a container or use in the ground on a small trellis. Bright yellow anthers at the center of full, two-tone pink flowers bloom well on this compact selection in late spring and again in late summer
	VITICELLA Mme. JULIA CORREVON This award winning, easily grown Clematis has masses of stunning, wine-red flowers with golden stamens from July to September. The viticella species are very healthy with a compact growth habit but tall, 8-12’ vines.

Lilies

We are offering a really nice selection of both Asiatic and Fragrant Oriental lily bulbs, potted up and ready for you to plant in your garden. Being a fabulous addition to the perennial garden, lilies are hardy and multiply over the years. Asiatic Hybrids are the earlier ones, blooming in July after the irises are done. Generally Asiatics grow from 18” to 35” tall. They make great cut flowers. Oriental lilies are the wildly fragrant ones that get quite tall, making a statement towards the back of the border in late July or August. Stargazer is this type of lily, but we have a prettier one: Starfighter. They are all wonderful, try several!

Add a wow! factor to your perennial beds with lilies. Whether you choose the July blooming Asiatics or the later Orientals, you will never be sorry you planted them. They are reliable and hardy, multiplying quickly and adding a dramatic note to any spot you put them in. Consider planting in groups of three or five of the same color for best show. We are offering them as started bulbs in May, $2.50 each for Asiatics and $3.50 each for Orientals and OT. Later in the season when they are blooming in gallon containers they will be $6.00 each. Plant them early for best flower show and quicker multiplication of the bulbs.

ASIATICS bloom in July in Idaho. They are fantastic for pots, beds or cut flowers. We depend on them as a base for our popular July bouquets. They generally grow two to three feet tall, have no fragrance and come in many colors. Flowers are up facing. They do well in pots as well as in the ground.

ORIENTALS bloom in early fall and are generally quite tall, about 3-4 feet, and have large fragrant flowers. These are the big stems we bring to market in August. They are mostly pink, red, white or yellow.

OT lilies are a cross between Oriental and Trumpet. They offer fragrance, slightly downward facing flowers, height, and strong colors. Our Conca d’Or bulb has multiplied to three in a few years, and has strong, four-foot stems with clusters of delightfully fragrant flowers that you can smell from across the yard.

Notes: Lilies are highly poisonous to cats. Unfortunately, deer really like them, but if you have a deer problem you could keep lilies in pots on your deck.

Plant lilies deep as they root on the stem as well as below the bulb. Amend the soil with organic fertilizers and compost. Do not plant in a wet spot, just normal moisture is best. Lilies can be moved yearly without damage or loss of bloom.
