Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Franziska Maria') - Description

'Franziska Maria' is a new double Clematis that far outperforms any other double on the market! Unlike most double clematis, this new variety blooms double on both the old wood in early summer and the new growth in later summer. Most double blooming Clematis feature single blooms on the second bloom of the year. The 4-6" blue-purple, Dahlia-like, flowers are very free flowering, and continue nonstop from June through September! Compact and healthy foliage make this new clematis ideal for containers.

Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Franziska Maria') - Growth

Clematis includes species of twining leaf-climbers and woody-based herbaceous perennials, found in the N. and S. hemispheres. During the spring they do best in full sun, but do well with partial shade in summer.It is important to keep the roots and the base of the plant in the shade and never in direct sun.Climbing species are useful for covering a wall, arbor, trellis, or pergola. They can also be grown over large shrubs or small trees. Herbaceous species work great in a mixed or herbaceous border.

Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Franziska Maria') - Planting

Clematis is usually propagated through cuttings, but most gardeners will find it much easier to skip this step and directly purchase starter plants. Plant Clematis in the spring at least 18" from any south-facing walls.For climbing species, make sure to plant the top of the root ball about 3" (8cm) below the soil surface. Provide strong support, and tie in the plants initially before they start to climb on their own.

Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Franziska Maria') - Interesting facts

Clematis is divided into three prune groups. Group 1 is the early-flowering species-ones that bear flowers on the previous year's shoots in winter and early spring. Group 2 is the midseason, large-flowered cultivars that bear flowers in late spring and early summer on the previous year's growth and in mid to late summer on the current year's growth. Group 3 is the late, large flowered cultivars, small-flowered cultivars, and late-flowering species, that bear flowers in summer and into early fall on the current year's shoots.

Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Franziska Maria') - Soil and irrigation

Clematis plants prefer porous soil that is well-drained and slightly acidic. Maintain a pH between 5.8 and 6.5: any higher and the plant is susceptible to yellowing.Provide plants with a late winter mulch of compost or well-rotted manure, but avoid the crown when doing so.
