Clematis of the Week.

Clematis William Kennett

William Kennett is a Early Large Flowered Type, the blooms are 6 inches across. The plant is hardy, zone 4 thru 9 and grows to 10 or 12 feet. This clematis blooms on the previous season growth so you don't want to prune it the early spring. The first bloom period is spring thru early summer. When it is finished blooming clean up the bush and give it a trim, deadhead it and William Kennett will bloom again for you in September. Pruning group 2.

Wonderful planted with a yellow climbing rose. Here it is pictured with a yellow peony. Try matching it with Golden Gate, Lemon Meringue, or even the white climbing Iceberg would be gorgeous.

We do not yet ship Clematis but stop by the nursery to see our clematis selection. We have shipment a of 250 coming the first week of May. Some of our favorites, Arabella, Durandi, Ruutel, Marie Louise Jensen, Venosa Violacea....well I could go on and on. Stop by and see them for yourself. We will be glad to assisit you in your choice.
