My clematis is not very thriving... Just a thin stem that looks almost dry... I planted it and watered it well. I also reported the discomfort upon receiving the package... To be continued.

Description

Clematis Dancing Dorien (Zodado) is certainly one of the most beautiful white clematis with double flowers. Highly floriferous and perpetual, it bears beautiful flowers that will have a slightly different appearance depending on the season. In spring, they are fully double and globular, tinted with pale-pink, while in late summer, they will be white, semi-double, and larger. They bloom abundantly on a vigorous small vine with a modest stature, perfect for small spaces and pot cultivation.

 

The genus Clematis belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. Dancing Dorien is a recent horticultural variety from Van Zoest Nurseries (Netherlands), dating back to 2009. It is derived from Clematis patens, a woody clematis native to low-altitude forests in the northern Japanese islands. It belongs to the group of clematis that bloom twice. The first flowering appears in spring, on the previous year's shoots. The second flowering blooms in late summer, on the current year's shoots. It is a woody climbing perennial plant, with short stems, which will reach a height of 2m (7ft), with a spread of 1m² (3ft²). A multitude of shoots emerge from its base every spring.

In spring, this clematis bears flowers with a diameter of 6 to 7cm (2 to 3in). They are globular and fully double, but without petaloid stamen tufts in the centre. The numerous slender petals at their tips are an opalescent pink that fades to white at maturity. The almost pure white flowers produced in summer are semi-double and 10 to 12cm (4 to 5in) wide. At full bloom, the corollas display a bouquet of pale-yellow stamens. The bisexual flowers are solitary or grouped in cymes. The deciduous leaves are simple. They are bronze at budburst, then they take on a fairly dark olive-green colour. Their lamina is divided, palmate, and strongly veined, as in Clematis patens. This clematis clings to support or the host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.

 

Plant your clematis  alongside climbing roses or vines to extend the flowering period of walls and pergolas until the end of summer. Let Dancing Dorien climb with its blue-toned counterpart Dancing Queen, 'Little Mermaid' or 'Baby Charm', for example. They will weave through dwarf conifers, bamboo or ornamental apple trees to animate their beautiful foliage twice a year. It is a genus rich in diversity, with clematis of all colours, shapes and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. Dancing Dorien will be perfectly happy in a pot on a balcony or next to a door.

Planting and care

Plant Clematis Dancing Dorien in the sun, in fertile, humus-bearing, well-drained soil, shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile for example). Herbaceous species prefer full sun and wilt in overly wet soil. Plant it in well-prepared soil, lightened with good compost and coarse sand. Position the plant with the root ball at an angle and cover it with 3cm (1in) of soil.  After planting, cut back the stems to about 30cm (12in) from the base above a nice pair of buds. Water generously and regularly during the first few weeks. However, do not let water stagnate as this can cause fungus to develop at the collar.

Mulch all clematis in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems.

Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant can cling on its own. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants.

After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, to reduce the risk of wilting, while promoting the emergence of vigorous shoots from the stump.

Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests.

Care

Pruning instructions This variety flowers on the previous year's shoots. It should be lightly pruned in March (a simple cleaning is sufficient). After the spring flowering, cut back half of all the branches to encourage the clematis to branch out strongly and produce new shoots for a second flowering during the summer season. It is possible to cut back the clematis up to 75cm (30in) from the ground. Only prune severely to rejuvenate your clematis every 4 or 5 years.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year
