Clematis ‘Queen Mother’ and its stunning shape

Clematis viticella ‘Queen Mother’

Relatively recent, this Italian clematis was created in 2011. A true “Queen of lianas”, it is characterised by dark green deciduous foliage and voluble stems that wrap around their support with tendrils.

In terms of pairing, this clematis ‘Queen Mother’ can be planted with a bush that has slightly golden leaves (Physocarpus ‘Dart’s Gold’ for example), to play with colours and contrasts. Of course, you can also pair it with other clematis, such as the variety ‘I am Happy’ or even Clematis viticella ‘Caerulea Luxurians’.

Clematis 'Wonderful' sparkles in the garden.

In English, the term “wonderful” means “magnificent”: a name that suits it perfectly! The Clematis ‘Wonderful’ reveals stunning star-shaped flowers in a violet-pink hue. A new Dutch variety, this hardy variety will delight all beginner gardeners: it requires little maintenance, is very floriferous, and is highly resistant to diseases.

Its beautiful star-shaped flowers with 4 petals, in a warm and bright rose-red, enhanced by a centre of cream stamens, measure between 5 and 7 cm in diameter. Shoots appear from the end of spring and remain visible until the end of summer, always in abundance, as is often the case with clematis.

Clematis are often planted alongside climbing roses and other clematis: to vary the colours, you can pair them with Clematis ‘Palette’, which has an original shape and a particularly striking violet.

Between its dark foliage and very light flowers, this Italian clematis provides stunning contrasts in the garden. To play with colours, feel free to plant this variety alongside Clematis viticella ‘Rosalyn’, known for their much more pronounced pink hue.
