Clematis 'Giuseppi Verde'

Small, bell-shaped, nodding flowers. Named 'Guiseppi Verde' (equivalent to Joe Green in English) because the outer tepals are yellow/green with purple spotting and the inner tepals and stamens are lime green. The spelling of 'verde' (green) rather than the normal 'verdi' is part of the pun.
