This is a pic of my Clematis X cartmanii 'Joe', a hybrid between two evergreen New Zealand clematis species. It is not at all hardy in my area so I grow it as a houseplant on a trellis.
In bloom in the conservatory
That is so different, Todd. I would never have know that it was a clematis if you hadn't told us.

Isn't that pretty! How often and long does it bloom as a houseplant? Do you know what zones it is hardy to?

I am so jealous! Mine has not even set a bud yet! LOL
I am waiting with great anticipation, I can tell you. Very pretty. Thanks for posting this beauty.
oh boy, that is so pretty.
It is beautiful.
It blooms for about 4-6 weeks. It is not really a climber but can be trained on a trellis. Otherwise, it can be clipped to grow more as a shrub. It can be kept under 3 feet. I think it is only hardy to zone 9. The New Zealand species are dioecious, so Joe is a male (ie it never sets seed)
Gorgeous! It is completely covered in blooms!
What type of fertilizer do you use?
Very pretty.
gotta get me one of those! E
