Clematis Kingfisher

Giant Blooms with a Ruffled, Starry Look This plant was developed by Raymond J. Evison, a master Clematarian. Cultivar name: EVIpo037 Reblooming Clematis are a rare delight, but seldom do you see such a giant-flowered variety repeat . . . with just as many flowers the second time around as the first! KingfisherÖ is a magnificent new Clematis from the master of the Queen of Climbers, Raymond J. Evison. It sets huge 6- to 7-inch blue blooms with thick petals that overlap at the base, creating a ruffled, three-dimensional look before tapering to a point for a starry silhouette. A single flush of these flowers is a treat, but two a year is almost embarrassing!The flowers arise first in spring on plants 6 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Ideal for cutting, they dwarf the foliage and steal the show in any setting. Then they repeat in late summer to early autumn, followed by large, silvery-white seedheads that impart an airy look to the late-season garden. Whether you grow it up a lamppost, let it thread through a fence, or train it up a trellis, this Clematis is nothing short of stunning.Content with its roots shady and cool while its tops (aboveground growth) are sunny and warm, KingfisherÖ thrives in well-mulched soil in full sun in all but the hottest climates. It is in Pruning Group II, so needs a hard pruning in late winter. Very vigorous and floriferous, it is an outstanding climber for any garden or large container. Zones 4-9.
