Sugar Bowl
Clematis hirsutissima
zones 2-6
30 seeds
Large, urn-shaped flowers are borne singly at the top of stout purplish stems, which have a covering of silvery hairs, extending to the underside of the four fused sepals that form the head. The pointed sepal tips curve back to reveal a center of many hairy, whitish stamens and styles, the latter which form long, feathery fruits when mature.
Best grown in well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade and prefers some afternoon shade in hot summers. Prefers cool summer climates. May be grown in medium moisture, well-drained soils, but often will die out if subjected to wet winter soil conditions. Sow seeds directly in prepared growing area in autumn or start seeds indoors in the late winter, beginning with a 4-6 week stratification period. Then, plant them in a seed-starting mix, and keep the growing medium lightly moist as seedlings develop.
