Large-Flowered Clematis 'Asagasumi'
Elegant, Clematis ‘Asagasumi’ is a moderately vigorous large-flowered clematis variety with luminous, pearly white flowers, 5-6 in. across (12-15 cm), adorned with a pale pink bar at the center of their sepals and prominent yellow anthers. The flowers are followed by large, showy silver seedheads, which add further interest to the plant. Flowering comes in two waves: first in late spring and early summer, then in late summer and early fall. Shade tolerant, this clematis is ideal for arbors, trellises, pergolas, and other garden structures. Excellent when grown into small shrubs. ‘Asagasumi’ means ‘Morning Mist’ in Japanese.
As climbers, Clematis are unsurpassed in their long flowering presence, their rich diversity of flower shapes, their wide array of colors and tolerances in terms of exposure and climate. It is no wonder they are so popular! From tree huggers to container varieties, there is a Clematis for every garden and flowers for almost every month of the year! Members of the Ranunculaceae family, they include more than 300 species and hundreds of hybrids. They create year after year a ravishing colorful show in the garden whether solely trained on walls, arbors or trellises, or grown in association with other climbers. They are divided into 3 groups which determine how they should be pruned. Regular pruning of Clematis is important as it promotes strong growth and flowering as well as a harmonious plant. If left unpruned, Clematis can turn into a mass of tangled stems with a bare base and flowers well above eye level.
