Description

An elegant and strong performing compact beauty that prefers life on the shady side, the ‘Corinne’ Clematis features abundant lovely flowers on very sturdy stems that make them excellent for cutting and use in flower arrangements. Her 5″ flowers have overlapping white ruffled petals with a lilac-pink strip down the center surrounding creamy marron-brown anthers. Very free flowering, the first bloom cycle occurs in late spring to mid summer followed by a second show of flowers in late summer to early fall. At 4 to 6 feet tall, Corinne is ideal for use in smaller garden spaces or containers that can be situated on shady to partially shaded patios, decks, porches and other outdoor living spaces.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 4 to 6 feet high and around 3 feet wide, Corinne Clematis is ideal for growing in pots or in garden beds on short fences and trellises, mailbox posts, obelisks, posts and other structures. Also a nice one for growing on roses, shrubs and small trees. Excellent for situating on or around patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up or conveniently cut for use in floral arrangements. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, white or pink theme gardens and butterfly or hummingbird gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover short fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

The Corinne Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. It likes morning and evening sun but not direct afternoon sun. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 2

Clematis in Group 2 consist of all the early, large-flowered hybrid clematis that bloom in late spring or early summer and maybe again in late summer. Clematis in this group should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring. Pruning consists of removing weak and crossing shoots then thinning down the plant to a structure of evenly spaced one and two year old stems. Cut each old stem just above a pair of healthy buds. Plants in this group have the tendency to become bare at the base as they mature. You can under-plant with small shrubs or perennials to help conceal the bare stems. Alternatively, you can often force a flush of new growth from the base by cutting the vine back to 18 inches immediately after the flush of bloom.

An alternate method of pruning Group 2 clematis is to prune only every three or four years. In this case, the clematis should be pruned as described for Group 3 Clematis. This will produce a weak first flush of flowers in the summer after pruning.
