Clematis x Jouiniana
'Praecox'
Despite the praecox
suffix (means early) Clematis x Jouiniana 'Praecox' flowers July
to October, its just earlier than other forms of the hybrid!
Flowers are very pale lilac in bunches lightly scented. The plant
is large and vigorous but non-climbing in habit, if supported it
makes a good climber but if allowed also makes good groundcover.
Mine looks stunning growing through a Rhododendron. Very tough
and hardy it will grow anywhere and can be kept in bounds by hard
pruning.
Result of a cross
between C. vitalba (the native Old mans beard) and C.
heracleifolia (a scented herbaceous species)
