Clematis 'Chalcendony' | Chalcendony Clematis
DESCRIPTION
Clematis 'Chalcedony' is a deciduous climber renowned for its pale blue to light lilac double flowers. The blooms appear in abundance from spring through autumn, with the early spring flowers often exhibiting a higher density of tepals, forming an attractive pompom shape. As the season progresses, the flowers may become semi-double but remain equally enchanting.
A light pruning after the first flush of flowers encourages a second bloom later in the season. Its moderate growth habit makes it suitable for containers and smaller garden displays, where it can be trained over trellises, arches, or pergolas to showcase its delicate, long-lived flowers.
