Clematis Fusca

code: 849

It will quickly cover any unsightly fence or shrub

Family: Ranunculaceae
Common name: Virgin’s Bower
Plant Classification: Hardy climber
Packet Content(approx.): 8

This fairly vigorous Japanese climber bears from spring to early autumn intriguing urn-shaped flowers, the four fleshy petals staying almost closed, and covered on the outside with brown hairs, resembling a bunch of baby rabbits clustered together! It will quickly cover any unsightly fence or shrub or can even do well in a large pot.

Sowing advice:
Sow seeds at any time onto a good soil-based compost covering seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. We recommend germinating at 15 to 20 degrees C. Germination may be very slow, perhaps 2-3 months, or sometimes much longer, and these seeds may sometimes wait for spring before emerging. Grow on individual seedlings in 3 inch pots before finally planting with climbing support in a well-drained spot or very large pot.
