.......................................................................................................................
Clematis are often referred to as the queen of the flowering
vines. Plants in this versatile genus produce single or double
flowers from May to October in a variety of colors. Sepals๏ฟฝ
not petals ๏ฟฝmake up the colorful portion of the flower.
The petal-like sepals may be thin, wide, pointed, rounded,
crinkled, twisted, or even crimped. They may be marked with
center bars, stripes, or vivid shadings. Flower form varies
from nodding, pitcher-shaped, bell-shaped, or star-shaped,
to the familiar large, flat, erectly held blossoms. Flowers may
have contrasting colored stamens or no stamens at all. Small
flowered varieties (cultivars) offer a range of fragrances lacking
in the large flowered varieties.
...................................................................................................................
Some clematis can grow 8 to 12 feet in a single season,
others reach a height of only 2 to 4 feet. There are more than
250 species of clematis and several hundred cultivars. Not
all clematis are hardy in Iowa, but numerous species and
cultivars can be successfully grown in the state.
