Clematis Ramona (Late Large-Flowered Clematis)

Clematis 'Ramona' is a ravishing deciduous climber which produces an abundance of large, single, pale lavender-blue flowers, 5-7 in. across (12-18 cm) from early to late summer. The star-shaped blooms are blessed with 6 to 8 slightly overlapping tepals and a central tuft of contrasting red anthers. Moderately vigorous, this large-flowered clematis is an excellent choice for covering trellises, arbors, pergolas, and walls. Since it blooms on both old and new growth, it may be pruned under Group 2 or 3.

• Easy to grow and cultivate, this clematis thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun or part shade. Ideally, Clematis prefer having their 'heads in the sun and their feet in the shade'. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base.
• This clematis can quickly grow up to 8-12 ft. long (240-360 cm).
• Deadhead after the first wave of blooms to promote new blooms.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
