Clematis Little Lemons was selected because of its extraordinary dwarf habit, its long flowering period and flowers that give seed fluff, lasting a couple of weeks. Makes stems of 8-12″ long (with an occasional outlier to 20″). The leaf is pinnate and green colored. Nodding yellow flowers are beautifully bell-shaped. After flowering, shiny seed fluff appears; the side flowers usually have no seed fluff. Flowers from mid-May to early September. It flowers on new wood. Attracts bees and butterflies to the garden. In March it’s ready for pruning up to 4″ above ground. This variety thrives in full sun. It prefers fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. Perfect in a container on your terrace or balcony. It’s also very suitable in perennial borders, for mass planting and combined with other plants. Hardy to Zone 5b. Photo courtesy of Concept Plants.
