- Life cycle
Clematis 'Evipo063' begins as a dormant cutting or young plant, often obtained from a nursery. It then enters a growth phase where it rapidly develops a root system and foliage, usually in the spring. This vine produces stems that require support, and it climbs using leaf petioles as tendrils. Throughout late spring to early fall, the plant blooms, showing off large, prominent flowers that can repeat bloom throughout the season. After flowering, some varieties of Clematis may produce fluffy seed heads which persist into late fall or early winter. In the dormant season, typically winter, growth slows or ceases, and the plant may require pruning to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering in the subsequent season.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Propogation: The Clematis Corinne, which falls under the 'Evipo063' (PBR) (EL) patent, is typically propagated through layering or cuttings, with the best time to do so being in late winter or early spring just before the new growth begins. The most popular method of propagation for this Clematis is by taking semi-hardwood cuttings, which involves selecting a healthy, non-flowering stem from the current season's growth. Cut a piece around 4-6 inches (approximately 10-15 centimeters) long, ensuring it includes at least two sets of leaf nodes. The lower leaves are then removed, and the cut end dipped in rooting hormone powder to encourage root development. This cutting should be planted in a pot filled with a mix of peat and perlite, ensuring the nodes where the leaves were removed are buried. The cutting needs to be kept in a well-lit area but out of direct sunlight and consistently moist until the roots are established, which usually takes a few weeks. Once rooted, the new Clematis can be gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions before being transplanted into the garden.
