Abstract

A new variety of Clematis having repeat flowering habit and suitable for growing in a container.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Clematis. The varietal denomination of the new variety is `Evifour`. It was discovered as a seedling in a controlled planting of cultivated plants in St. Sampsons Parish, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain, and its parents are not known.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and known commercial clematis cultivars are the following combination of characteristics: recurrent blooming habit and free flowering characteristic, attractive violet flowers and compact habit which makes it ideal for growing in containers. `Evifour` is asexually propagated by vegetative cuttings and asexual reproduction of new variety as performed by vegetative cuttings in Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain, shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying photographic illustration shows the foliage, flower buds and flowers of the new variety, with different flowers shown in various stages of maturity. The flower poise, contrasting colors, petal count and petal characteristics are depicted. The domed boss of stamens is shown forming the attractive center of the flowers and the coloration and character of the foliage can be seen behind the flowers. The coloration shown in the photograph is as nearly correct as is possible in color illustrations of this character. Throughout the specification color values are based upon the Royal Horticultural Colour Chart, Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
