Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clematis Constance is a lovely new pink flowered selection of the alpina species. The blooms have a rich color and are semi-double, too! It is very generous with a heavy first bloom in spring and steady light repeats. Constance also has beautiful, fluffy seed heads. Dr. Seuss would be jealous of these! Small Flowered Clematis. Goodman, UK, 1992. This is a Group 1 (A) Clematis, which means it flowers in spring on buds from last year's growth. They actually don't need to be pruned but if you wish to trim or direct them the best time to prune is just after flowering. Trimming encourages branching and vigorous new growth. If pruned late in the season or before flowering in spring the plant will not be harmed, but spring bloom will be affected. Remove dead or damaged branches any time.
