Clematis Josephine 'Evijohill' | Josephine Clematis
DESCRIPTION
Clematis 'Josephine' (Evijohill) is a deciduous climber renowned for its large, double, dahlia-like flowers that bloom from late spring through most of the summer. Each flower features broad, pinkish-lavender outer sepals adorned with a dark pink center stripe, surrounding a rosette of smaller inner petals of similar coloring. The individual blooms last up to four weeks, providing extended visual interest.
Originating from the Netherlands, 'Josephine' was introduced in 1990 and has since become a popular choice for gardeners seeking a vibrant and long-blooming clematis. Its vigorous growth habit and extended flowering period make it suitable for adding color and texture to trellises, fences, and pergolas. The cultivar is also appreciated for its ability to bloom on both new and old stems, making it a good choice for cold climates.
