Clematis 'Crystal Fountain'

This plant is easy to grow and the flowers are as pretty as the pictures. I have loved having it for the last 2 or 3 years.

Also known as 'Evipo038'. Since this Clematis has a compact height, it is perfect for growing in containers or through small shrubs.

I purchased a bare root, tiny plant via the mail in 2004 (can't remember where I ordered it from). Planted it and crossed my fingers. It's grown over 36 inches so far in 2005 and has one big fat bud very low on the plant, close to the ground. Will add a picture when it blooms.

I purchased a small bare root clematis in spring 2004 and it has begun to settle in and grow. No flowering yet, I'm hoping for a show next spring. I'm very excited about it.

Information about this new cultivar reads: "A new and exciting hybrid! The large flowers of lilac blue are fully double with quill-like stamens flowing from the center. Exotic and almost "Passion Flower" like in appearance. A repeat bloomer that will commence in the spring with a few intermittent flowers throughout the summer and another large blooming in the fall. Hardy zones 4 - 9."

Note: While looking through clematis on DG I ran across another Clematis by the name of "Multi Blue" that looks almost identical to this one. Mine is being sold as a new cultiver, but for comparison purposes the other can be found at [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]
