General Culture:
Grow in fertile, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best lilac-pink flower color in full sun. Green tinges in the flowers become more pronounced as the vine is moved into part shade locations. Roots should be kept cool, shaded and uniformly moist. Bloom occurs primarily on the previous years growth. Prune back lightly to pairs of strong leaf buds in late winter to early spring (as leaf buds begin to open). Needs adequate supply of nutrients during the growing season to support rush of growth.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
Evijohill is a deciduous, large-flowering, semi-woody climbing clematis vine which typically grows 8-9. Features large, dahlia-like, double flowers (4-5" diameter) in a blending of cream, green, lilac and pink with dark pink center striping on the petals. Overall flower effect is that of lilac-pink. Blooms from late spring through most of the summer. Trifoliate green foliage. This cultivar was discovered in England by Josephine Hill and introduced there in 1998 by Raymond Evison (Gurnesy Clematis Nursery ) under the original cultivar name of Evijohill. Plants are being marketed by nurseries under the trade name of JOSEPHINE.
Problems:
No known serious insect or disease problems. Josephine is a new cultivar and its performance in the garden is not yet well-documented. Most clematises are susceptible to stem rot and wilt which can be fatal.
Uses:
This clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamp post or other stationary structure. Provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens. Can also be planted to sprawl over and through large shrubs, over old tree stumps or simply as a ground cover in conjunction with other flowering perennials.
