| Just for fun, plant this lovely Columbine at the base of your Clematis and see how many of your gardening friends ask where you found the delightful little herbaceous Clematis! These brightly colored, very abundant blooms look for all the world like Clematis, but the plant is pure Columbine. A delight for garden, container, and vase, Clementine should not be missed! The flowers are just 1 to 1 1/2 inch wide, but they arise so heavily on these compact plants that you'll have plenty for cutting and for garden enjoyment, too. The butterflies love them, and they are so profuse that they simply spill over flowerpots and baskets, adding bright color to any setting. Give them full sunshine in the north, a bit of afternoon shade farther south and west, and you'll be knee-deep in color for many weeks in spring and early summer! The plant is quite petite, just 12 to 18 inches high and wide, but so well-branched that it gives you more flowering stems than you'd expect. The foliage is attractive too -- dark green and toothy -- for a lush effect in garden or container. If you like this color, try the other 5 in the series -- deep purple, red, blue, rose, and white -- as well as the mix of all 6! Pkt is 15 seeds. |
