Hardy English or Large=Flowered Clematis 



NOTE, The Large-Flowered or Hardy English Clematis are considered the most beautiful of all our 

 Flowering Vines. The flowers are large, often measuring 4 to 6 inches across and are borne in great wreaths 

 and clusteis during July and August ; the colors range from rich, royal purple to pearly-white. The vines 

 are of slender, wiry growth and require support that they can twine around, like a rod, pole or wire, and if 

 somewhat moist and partially shaded, so much the better ; the north side of the house or porch is often the best 

 place for them ; hardy, but a mulch of leaves or litter around roots, at least the first season, will be an advantage.
