Balearic Clematis is a most ornamental, evergreen climber native of sunny rock walls on the Balearic islands. It makes broadly feathered, dark green, slightly leathery foliage and beautiful pendulous white to cream-white flower bells spotted purplish inside. For any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the year. A half hardy species wich is best grown under frostfree conditions (e.g. in a cool greenhouse or unheated wintergarden). Alternatively it may be tried in a protected spot in the garden with some good winter protection (e.g. a thick mulch layer around the stem basis). Sow seeds flat in any humus-rich, well drained substrate. Keep pots for about 6 weeks at some 5°C (e.g. in the refrigerator), then move to a warmer, sunny place at a minimum of some 20°C throughout the year.

Clematis cirrhosa var. balearica (Balearic Clematis)3 (7)m, Balearic Clematis is an evergreen half hardy climber from the Balearic islands growing on sunny rock walls and in shrubs. It has broadly feathered dark green leaves and numerous, most ornamental pendulous pure white or pale to dark rose flower bells spotted purplish inside. This subspecies is very variable in the flower color, so that the commonly sold cultivars 'Freckles', 'Jingle Bells', 'Landsdown Gem', and 'Wisley Cream' actually do not merit their status as a cultivar. Seeds sold are a mixture of numerous flower colors. For any rich, well drained soil in a protected spot outside in the garden or in colder regions as a container plant under frost free conditions throughout the year with reduced watering in winter and a minimum of some 5°C. V-VII. |
