Clematis Silmakivi

An Estonian Clematis Hardy through Zone 2

Exceptionally long-blooming.

Bred on Roogoja Farm (along the 58th Parallel) by the late Mr. Uno Kivistik, Silmakivi™ demonstrates all the merits that have made the Kivistiks some of the best Clematis available in the world today:

• Early flowering, from a young age
• Compact growth habit
• Very heavy bud set

Exceptionally floriferous and long-blooming, Silmakivi™ sets masses of icy-blue blooms, each with a broad white stripe down the center of every petal. The first flowers arise in early summer, and new blooms are still opening in autumn. Like all the Kivistiks, Silmakivi™ begins blooming quite young, a season or two in advance of other cultivars.

Just 5 to 6 feet long, this plant is ideal for containers as well as garden growth. It is hardy through zone 2 in the north, yet tolerates the heat and humidity of the deep south, southwest, and midwest without dropping a leaf. It makes a fine companion to another Kivistik cultivar, neon-pink Huvi. Add these spectacular Clematis to your landscape this season for years of outstanding performance.

Zones 2-9.
