7 summer clematis with continuous flowering
reliable choices for long-lasting flowering!
Contents
In bells or stars, clematis delight us with their unique flowering that adds incredible charm to the garden, adorning trellises, arches, or lovely pots near the house. Some are so beautiful that we feel a bit frustrated when the flowering of these queens of climbing plants sometimes ends a little too quickly.
Are you wondering which clematis blooms the longest? Discover our selection of 7 clematis with continuous flowering, to adorn your walls with colourful flowers for many months.
Clematis 'Kokonoe'
She has an incredible charm, this lovely violet clematis! The Clematis ‘Kokonoe’® is a very recent cultivar, originating from the Land of the Rising Sun, probably resulting from the cross-breeding of Clematis florida and Clematis integrifolia. From this lineage, it has inherited the ability to flower abundantly over a long period stretching from June to October. Like all Clematis florida, it flowers on the shoots of the year, offering an abundance of large, very double flowers in a deep violet-purple. It is a refined liana, of fairly modest size (height at ripeness: 2.50 m, spread: 1 m) and fast-growing, making it well-suited for garden cultivation as well as in pots. Hardy and easy to grow, it requires a bright and sunny location—where you should take care to shade its base—or partial shade.
Clematis ‘Kokonoe’ and the climbing rose ‘Madame Alfred Carrière’
To highlight its natural elegance, pair it with the powdery white and soft pink roses of the climbing rose ‘Madame Alfred Carrière.’ Both delight us by flowering at the same time!
