Description

The new 'Red Passion' and 'Green Passion' clematis are brought together in this lovely duo with the appearance of an ancient tapestry. The large double flowers, with rich shades of pink in the sumptuous Red Passion, will be tempered by the pistachio green of the unusual, fluffy and tousled corollas of the tender Green Passion. Their flowering takes place simultaneously, first in spring and then again in autumn, on small lianas of the same stature, well suited to pot cultivation and small spaces. Give your garden, terrace or balcony an unexpected and charming decoration by combining these two amazing Passion clematis!

 

Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. They can be found in both hemispheres, especially in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia, and North and Central America. The 'Green Passion' and Red Passion varieties, obtained in the Netherlands and introduced in 2016 and 2017, are  perfectly perennial and hardy plants, semi-woody and climbing, which will reach 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft) in height, with a minimum spread of 1.25m (4ft). They belong to the patens group of clematis.

These two clematis bear double flowers, with a diameter of 12 to 15cm (5 to 6in), appearing on the previous year's wood in spring, from April to June, and then again on the shoots of the year, from late summer to autumn. The flowers are sometimes semi-double in late summer. They are solitary or grouped in cymes and particularly abundant. They are erect and have a multitude of tepals, with a tender green color and silky reverse that truly resemble leaves for Green Passion, and a red-pink color with a lighter base and silky reverse for Red Passion, these two colors complementing each other perfectly. The flowering is followed by decorative feathered silvery gray fruits that persist until winter. The leaves, deciduous, are divided into small rounded leaflets, glabrous, of a medium green color. This clematis clings to the support or host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.

 

Plant your clematis alongside your climbing roses or lianas to extend the flowering of your walls and pergolas until the end of summer. It is a diverse genus, with clematis available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Green Passion' and 'Red Passion', which love to climb in bushes, form a very successful marriage in the garden, but also in a container on the terrace or balcony. Plant these two adorable little lianas near a cotinus, a white lilac, a mock orange, or a Photinia, whose red and green foliage displays the same harmonious and complementary hues. Create unusual spring bouquets by picking a few branches laden with flowers, mixed with pink or purple peonies, white or black tulips, "red" or white irises, and many other garden flowers.

Planting and care

The 'Passion' Clematis will appreciate a sunny or lightly shaded position near a tree. Plant it in a fertile, humus-rich soil, especially well-drained; shading the roots and base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). In general, the clematis wilts in overly wet soil and hot weather, falling victim to a terrible disease commonly known as wilt. Plant it by covering the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in soil worked to a depth of 20 cm (8in), lightened with good compost and coarse sand. After planting, cut back the clematis stems to about 30 cm (12in) from the base above a nice pair of buds. In the first few weeks, water regularly. However, be careful not to let the water stagnate as this can cause a fungus to develop at the neck. Mulch all clematis in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Train the stems, without squeezing them, until the plant grips onto them itself. Clematis also like to grow freely on neighboring plants. Remove dead or weak stems in March, before the vegetation resumes, and cut back all others above 2 healthy buds. They will produce secondary stems that will bear lateral shoots flowering in May. Remove faded flowers. Young shoots will flower later in the season.

After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, to reduce the risk of wilt while promoting the emergence of vigorous shoots from the base. Voles and grey worms can attack clematis and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential parasites of clematis.
