*******************************************************************************
Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been popular among gardeners, beginning with Clematis x jackmanii, a garden standby since 1862; more hybrid cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin. Most species are known as clematis in English, while some are also known as traveller's joy, a name invented for the sole British native, C. vitalba, by the herbalist John Gerard; virgin's bower for C. viticella; old man's beard, applied to several with prominent seedheads; and leather flower or vase vine for the North American Clematis viorna. (Edited from Wikipedia)
The name Clematis derived from Greek meaning "the Climbing Plant. Clematis is one of the most popular flowering vines. They bloom in almost every colour; flowers can be single, double, or semi-double, ranging from small to large. Their shape can be tubular, star-like, flat open discs, or nodding bells. Depending on the cultivar, flowering can take place in spring and again in late summer, all summer long, or in late summer through fall. Given proper support, they are easy to grow. Clematis climbs by twining slender stems (petioles) around a wire (non-rusting, either galvanized or plastic coated) or other thin supports. They can be grown on a wall, fence, pergola, trellis, arbour, obelisk, or pole. They can also be trained to grow on trees, conifers, shrubs, or with climbing roses. (* Sheridan Nurseries)
