Clematis Pistachio

Long-lasting Flowers Mature from Cream to Pale Green at Summer’s End.

4 inches across and superb for cutting, these flowers are utterly unique in the Clematis family.

Plant Patent #15,093. Cultivar: ‘EVErida’.

Long-season color has never been so distinctive. This new cultivar from Raymond Evison — the king of Clematarians — is all the rage in Japan, and one glance at its large, unusual blooms tells you why. The 4-inch flowers open in early summer a creamy-white, then mature — over the course of a long season — to pale green! At the beginning of autumn, just as the rest of the garden is looking rather forlorn, these magnificent blooms begin appearing all over tall, vigorous vines. It’s like a second bloom season — and unlike many reblooms, a more interesting one than the first.

Very choice for container culture and ideal for twining up Roses and other shrubs, Pistachio™ reaches 10 feet tall and about 3 feet wide. The flowers are lovely in the vase as well as on the vine, offering long-lasting texture and color. Prune the plant back in early spring to about 12 inches tall. Perennial in zones 6-9; elsewhere, bring containers indoors for winter.
