Etioile Rose Clematis – 1 Gallon Pot

---

An timeless favorite introduced in 1903 and still as popular as ever, Etoile Rose is a delightful texensis variety that blooms later in the season, from mid summer through early fall, when many other flowering perennials might be winding down. From around July to September or October in our gardens, Etoile Rose displays loads of nodding, bell-shaped, 4-petaled velvety flowers with recurved rich pink petals edged in a silvery soft-pink. Excellent for cutting and display in floral arrangements, the flowers average about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long and are sure to be noticed by hummingbirds. Excellent for containers and garden beds, Etoile Rose can climb from 6 to 10 feet high depending on the height of the support structure, such as a fence, arch, pergola or other structure its vines can twine around. If left to meander along the ground it makes an attractive ground cover or filler around shrubs or as a companion for climbing roses and small trees.

Growing 6 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide, the Etoile Rose Clematis is ideal for use vine to climb and cover arches and pergolas, trellises and obelisks, fences and rails, posts and poles and any other structures that its vines can twine around or be trained to. Excellent for use to climb small trees and the perfect companion for climbing roses. Also nice meandering through and mingling with larger shrubs such as hydrangeas. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, hummingbird gardens, pink themed gardens, antique gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  3 to 4 feet apart for covering a fence

Etoile Rose Clematis prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Clematis tend to like sun on their vines and shade on their roots to keep them cooler. So we always plant a groundcover or flowers around the base of the vine to meet this preference. 

Note: All clematis prefer to be planted so that the crown of the plant, where its stem(s) emerge from the soil in which it was grown, is at least 3 to 4 inches below the soil level.
