Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica (Balearic Clematis)
Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica (Balearic Clematis)
3 (7)m, Balearic Clematis is an evergreen half hardy climber from the Balearic islands growing on sunny rock walls and in shrubs. It has broadly feathered dark green leaves and numerous, most ornamental pendulous pure white or pale to dark rose flower bells spotted purplish inside. This subspecies is very variable in the flower color, so that the commonly sold cultivars 'Freckles', 'Jingle Bells', 'Landsdown Gem', and 'Wisley Cream' actually do not merit their status as a cultivar. Seeds sold are a mixture of numerous flower colors. For any rich, well drained soil in a protected spot outside in the garden or in colder regions as a container plant under frost free conditions throughout the year with reduced watering in winter and a minimum of some 5°C.
