Description
The Clematis diversifolia 'Aphrodite' is a small 2m (7ft) climbing plant that flowers late with large blue-violet flowers with white anthers. This variety is a close relative of the Clematis 'Aphrodite Elegafumina'. Both are named after the Greek goddess of Love and Beauty.
This robust "Queen of lianas" develops deciduous leaves with 3 lanceolate leaflets, pale green, 10cm (4in) long, carried by thin and flexible stems that need to be trained. From July to September, large single flowers, strongly veined, blue-violet with white anthers, 8cm (3in) in diameter, grow on the current year's branches. The 4 tepals are slightly fringed. At the end of flowering, fruits appear, topped with a silvery gray feathery style, which is very decorative.
The Clematis diversifolia 'Aphrodite' likes a clay-siliceous, light, deep, fresh and fertile soil, in a sunny position with the base in shade. Plant ground cover plants to achieve this. The East is suitable. Watch out for aphids!
The Clematis diversifolia 'Aphrodite' paired with other varieties of clematis or married with a climbing rose perfectly dresses walls, fences, bamboo pyramids or the trunk of a tree.
Tips: Avoid excessive fertilizers that stimulate foliage at the expense of flowers. Do not mulch to avoid excessive moisture that promotes wilt disease.

Planting and care
The Clematis diversifolia 'Aphrodite' should be planted in spring or autumn, at a depth of 5cm (2in), with the root ball laid flat on the ground rather than vertically as usual. The head should be in the sun and the foot in the shade. Cover the foot with a small mound of soil to encourage new shoots. After planting, prune the stems to 30cm (12in) from the base, above a pair of buds. Train them loosely to help the plant cling on its own later. The subsequent pruning, in March, will involve cutting back all the previous year's stems to 20cm (8in) from the ground, above a pair of buds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
