Clematis Kokonoe is a new and remarkable variety of clematis, prized for its unique and attractive flowers. This hybrid, the result of Japanese selection, has quickly gained popularity among gardeners due to its distinctive characteristics.
The name "Kokonoe" comes from the Japanese language and means "nine overlapping circles", a perfect description of the flower's structure. It features multiple layers of overlapping tepals, creating a double, full and rich flower effect. The flowers are an intense and warm purple color, providing an elegant and lush touch to any garden setting. The plant is extremely floriferous , producing an abundance of flowers continuously from June to September , which ensures a show of color throughout the summer and into early autumn.
Clematis Kokonoe is a deciduous climber that can reach a height of about 2.5 meters. Its dark green foliage provides an excellent backdrop for its vibrant flowers. Due to its moderate size, it is ideal for various garden arrangements, and can be grown in pots, borders or even large hanging baskets.
This variety is part of pruning group 3, which means that it should be pruned back drastically in spring to encourage new growth and a second bloom during the season. Clematis Kokonoe is hardy and adapts to different climates, withstanding low temperatures to a certain extent. To grow successfully, it is recommended to plant in a sunny location with fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. The roots of the plant prefer to be kept cool and shaded, while the upper part enjoys the sun. Regular watering and fertilization contribute to vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
The plant's exceptional qualities have been recognized on the international stage: in 2019, Clematis Kokonoe was nominated for the "Plant of the Year" award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show , which underlines its appeal and value to gardeners.
Clematis Kokonoe is a spectacular addition to any garden, offering impressive double purple flowers over an extended period. Its manageable size, relatively easy care and adaptability make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to bring a touch of elegance and color to their outdoor spaces.
In the cold season, the plants are sold shortened and without leaves.
