clematis alionushka

Although Clematis are best known for being climbing plants, this variety, a Clematis integrifolia hybrid, is content to grow in sunny borders or over steep banks rather than up a trellis. The flowers of Clematis 'Alionushka' are also unusual, forming attractive, bell shapes rather than the usual star pattern. However, their colour is just as bright as that of other Old Man's Beards; when the hardy perennial blooms in June, July, August and September, the mauve tone of its petals is sure to turn

From early summer until September, Clematis 'Alionushka', a sprawling cariety of Clematis, is covered in 5cm long bell-shaped, mauve pink flowers. It can use shrubs for support, scrambling amongst them, or cascade over garden walls and grassy banks. It likes a sunny position. Height: 2m (6'). Spread: 1m (3') Pruning group: 3.
