Are some clematis vines evergreen?
There are several hundreds of species of clematis worldwide, and most of them are climbers. Most of the species are hardy, however some species, in particular most of the evergreen clematis, can only tolerate a few degrees of frost before they die.





Most varieties of clematis produce only a single bloom, yet some produce a dual bloom. The blooms of clematis range in size from about one inch to ten inches. The blooms of the clematis plant will often change color throughout the life of the plant. This occurs more often when the flower is grown in full sun conditions.


One type of evergreen clematis is the carnaby clematis. This evergreen clematis has pink blooms with a bold red stripe down the center of each petal. The carnaby will bloom from June and September, and will grow to ten feet high and three feet wide.





Another type of evergreen clematis is the Niobe clematis. This evergreen clematis has dark red blooms and bright gold anthers. The Niobe will bloom from June through July and range in height from six feet to ten feet. The foliage is dark green and makes a lovely contrast with the boldness of the blooms.

Reply:If you are thinking about Clematis you have chosen well, don't just consider evergreen ones tho.





My biggest thrill came when a repairman gasped and wanted to know what kind of plant I had.


He was looking at my Marie Boisselot vine.





I have about 25 different varieties and use them amongst the shrubbery, this way when your Rhodi's are finished blooming the Clematis will give another show.





You can buy Clematis that bloom in the spring-summer and fall so you can have some blooming at at all times
