All About Clematis Varieties

Looking to learn more about clematis varieties and how they can add variety to your property? Clematis plants are among the most popular and attractive flowering vines grown in the home landscape.

Clematis vines are a fantastic group of plants offering unforgettable, bold seasonal colour that range from pure white to deep, dark purples and even bi-colour varieties. From the beautiful, large-flowered hybrids to the more subtle but equally stunning smaller flowered species, these plants have definitely earned their place in the spotlight. Bloom time ranges from late spring to fall, depending on the type & variety. If your garden is planned well, you could have clematis in bloom throughout the growing season. You may find these varieties or more when you visit the garden centre.
