General Culture:
Grow in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Roots should be kept cool, shaded and uniformly moist. Mature plants have some drought tolerance. Bloom occurs on the current year抯 growth. Plants should be cut back hard (to 8-12?from the ground) to strong leaf buds in late winter to early spring. Plants generally need an adequate supply of nutrients during the growing season to support the rush of growth.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
態etty Corning?(C. crispa x C. viticella) is a late, small-flowered, semi-woody, climbing vine that was first discovered growing in Albany, New York in 1932. It typically grows to 6?tall. It features single, nodding, bell-shaped, pale lilac flowers (to 2?long) with recurved tips. Flowers freely bloom from summer to fall. Flowers are slightly fragrant. Branches are clad with bipinnate to pinnate-compound dark green leaves.
Problems:
No serious insect or disease problems. This clematis is susceptible to stem rot and wilt which can be fatal.
Uses:
This clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamppost or other stationary structure. It provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens. It can also be planted to sprawl over and through large shrubs or to scramble over old stumps. May be used as a ground cover.
