Syn. 'Fairy Blue'
Extended bloomtime plus hard-to-find colors -- no wonder Crystal Fountain™ is so highly prized! This exciting Clematis offers a brilliant 5-month display on vigorous, easy plants!
Each bloom features a frilly pompon sitting atop a wide daisy-like ray of petals. Expect them to reach up to 5 inches wide, and to appear by the dozen on very compact climbing plants. So beautiful, yet so garden-tough -- this is a Clematis to train up a trellis or thread through an open-habit shrub.
In most climates, the flowers will begin before spring is out, continuing right through summer and into fall. They are not shy about opening, and last a good while. And Crystal Fountain™ has substantially better resistance to powdery mildew than most other Clematis, making it a great choice for humid and rainy climates.
Crystal Fountain™ is a sport of the old favorite 'H. F. Young.' It is a member of the C. viticella family, a very cold-hardy European branch of the Clematis family that traditionally loves our American climate. This Clematis asks only for a vertical or horizontal support to climb, full sun on its aboveground growth and a nice cooling mulch over its roots. It appreciates adequate moisture, but once it is established in your garden, it can take a bit of drought. And it's easily compact enough for containers! Pruning Group 2. Zones 4-9.
