Clematis beadlei
This charming species is native to the state of Georgia. It is summer blooming. This is considered a herbaceous vine, meaning that it goes completely dormant in late autumn, and rejuvenates entirely from the ground each spring, so hard pruning once it is dormant in late autumn is the way to prune. Partial shade is ideal, but tolerates full sun with sufficient water. We have one young plant large enough to sell, in a one-gallon pot.
‘Esprit’
We are so pleased to be able to offer this FRCC introduction again. ‘Esprit’ started way back when Brewster Rogerson kept his collection out at Gutmann Nursery (now retired) in Mountaindale. It was a seedling salvaged from pot of ‘Jacqueline du Pré’. Brewster loved classical music, and so was well aware of the famous cellist with a clematis named after her. The color and vigor of the seedling impressed everyone, so we suggested Brewster name it so it could be introduced. He chose ‘Esprit’, a word he felt characterized the manner with which Jaqueline du Pré played her instrument. It is in the Atragene section of the genus, so wants excellent drainage, no hot afternoon sun, tolerates deep cold, and does well in a large container in potting soil with excellent structure. We have 4 one-gallon plants for sale.
Clematis socialis
TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT Clematis socialis is a colony forming herbaceous perennial clematis, non-climbing. In the wilds of Alabama and Georgia it lives in meadows with native grasses and other wildflowers. We grow it in full sun with a groundcover of creeping thymes (several forms including wooly thyme and T. minimus), which seem to shade the roots but allow new shoots to pop up easily. Summer blooming, and will repeat with deadheading. Tolerates heat with sufficient water. We will be dividing stock plants soon.
