Clematis Marmori

Clematis Marmori unveils its large wavy flowers in shades of pastel pink quite late, from July to September, taking over from many other large-flowered varieties. Its delightful flowers have very pale pink petals and rose fuchsia stamens on a small, compact plant suitable for small spaces and container gardening. This variety is perfect for creating a romantic setting, in the garden and on the balcony.

Clematis Marmori is a Soviet hybrid created in 1986. It is the result of hybridisation carried out by Uno Kivistik between the 'Hagley Hybrid' and 'Roogoja' varieties. Belonging to the Ranunculaceae family, this Clematis is classified in the horticultural category of hybrid Clematis of C. patens. It is a small climber that can reach 2 m (7ft) high and 1 m (3ft) wide. Flowering occurs from July to September in moderate climates. The single flowers, about 10 cm (4in) in diameter, consist of six slightly recurved, wavy, textured tepals that taper to a point. They open up to reveal a creamy centre with rose fuchsia anthers. This colour scheme harmonises perfectly with the pale pink petals, which have a slightly deeper pink base. The colour gradually fades under the sun, with varying intensities depending on the exposure. Decorative seed heads then appear until winter. The vibrant green, deciduous leaves are composed of 3 to 5 leaflets and borne on vigorous stems that attach themselves to their support using tendrils.

Clematis Marmori climbs various supports such as bushes or trellises and enhances them with its soft and tender shades. It pairs perfectly with other blue Clematis, white, violet or red ones, as well as climbing roses in the same tones, ensuring a long flowering season in every corner of the garden. Pair it with the purple of Flammula 'Sweet summer Love', the poetic forms of Viticella 'Queen Mother', or enjoy the porcelain complexion of Schisandra grandiflora.
