Clematis 'Joe Zary'

Stanley Zubrowski wrote (February 2002): "bloom period May-September if well cared for (water and fertilisation); flower buds are suffused with a soft lavender colour, then they darken somewhat to violet-purple like the inner portions, opening up almost flat. The colour is retained better if grown where some shade is provided, as hot sun will fade the blooms much more quickly."
