Clematis x diversifolia East River (Zoeastri)
Thanks to Hélène for preparing the order and Violette from the shipping department, the received clematis is in good health. Planted at the base of the "Synactif By Shisheido" rose bush, now I'm waiting for it to take root...

The East River Clematis (Zoeastri) is a rare and beautiful variety belonging to the group of diversifolia clematis that are more perennial plants than climbers. Its large, light purple flowers with pink highlights are distinguished by their graceful star-like silhouette with wavy branches. They are well displayed to reveal a very beautiful crown of light yellow stamens. This small climbing plant thrives on old walls, trellises and fences, but also as ground cover at the base of trees. Ideal when combined with a bush, in a container or in the ground. Its flowers last several days when cut.
Clematis belong to the buttercup family. 'East River' is a recent cultivar derived from Clematis diversifolia, a hybrid between Clematis integrifolia and various forms of C. viticella. It is a herbaceous, climbing perennial plant, reaching 1.50 m in height (slightly less in a pot), with a spread of 90 cm to 1 m. It is deciduous and completely dries out each winter, regrowing many stems from its crown in spring. It flowers from May to September.
The East River flowers measure 8 to 10 cm in diameter, appearing on the current year's shoots from May-June to September, either solitary or clustered in cymes. Each flower consists of 6 well-separated tepals, thin at the base, wavy at the edges, surrounding a core of prominent very pale yellow stamens. Feathery seed heads follow the flowers and persist until winter, they are decorative and silvery-grey. The leaves are simple and entire or divided into 3 leaflets, lanceolate to heart-shaped, of a fairly dark green. This clematis climbs on the support or host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.
This 'East River' clematis can be used as a perennial plant, in a rock garden or a mixed border. Perfect growing in the branches of a shrub with staggered flowering (Compact Lilacs, mock oranges, deutzias...). Ideal for filling up a slightly sad creeping conifer in summer, this lovely plant can also adorn balconies, as it performs well in containers. Cut before full bloom, the flowers last up to 10 days in a vase.

Botanical data
Clematis East River enjoys sunny exposures. As it blooms on the current year's branches, its vegetation should be pruned to 20 cm above the ground, above a nice pair of buds, in late winter (March), before the start of vegetation. Plant it in a fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil, shading the roots and the base of the stem (with a flat tile for example). Herbaceous species prefer full sun, but these plants like to keep their feet cool. However, they wilt in overly wet soil, so ensure good drainage for them.
Plant your clematis covering the root ball with 3 cm of soil, in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm, lightened with good compost and coarse sand. In the first few weeks, water regularly. Mulch all clematis in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Cover the base of climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, to reduce the risk of wilting, while promoting the growth of vigorous shoots from the crown. After planting, cut back the stems of deciduous clematis to about 20 cm from the base above a nice pair of buds.
Do not overwater in winter, as stagnant water can cause fungus to develop at the collar. Train the stems, without crushing them, until the plant can cling by itself. Clematis also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants. Voles and slugs can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
