Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Tie Dye') - Description
Big wow factor for this beautiful cultivar that is a true breakthrough in clematis coloring! Clematis 'Tie Dye' is similar to the popular 'Jackmanii', but the 6" flowers have dark blue petals with lavender-white centers that streak out to the edges creating a tapestry of color on each bloom. This very unusual and appropriately named Clematis blooms June through July. Imagine this gorgeous vine intertwined with a deep red climbing rose such as Rosa 'Blaze' over an archway entry into your garden!

Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Tie Dye') - Growth
Clematis includes species of twining leaf-climbers and woody-based herbaceous perennials, found in the N. and S. hemispheres. During the spring they do best in full sun, but do well with partial shade in summer.It is important to keep the roots and the base of the plant in the shade and never in direct sun.Climbing species are useful for covering a wall, arbor, trellis, or pergola. They can also be grown over large shrubs or small trees. Herbaceous species work great in a mixed or herbaceous border.
Traveller's Joy (Clematis x 'Tie Dye') - Planting
Clematis is usually propagated through cuttings, but most gardeners will find it much easier to skip this step and directly purchase starter plants. Plant Clematis in the spring at least 18" from any south-facing walls.For climbing species, make sure to plant the top of the root ball about 3" (8cm) below the soil surface. Provide strong support, and tie in the plants initially before they start to climb on their own.

Clematis is divided into three prune groups. Group 1 is the early-flowering species-ones that bear flowers on the previous year's shoots in winter and early spring. Group 2 is the midseason, large-flowered cultivars that bear flowers in late spring and early summer on the previous year's growth and in mid to late summer on the current year's growth. Group 3 is the late, large flowered cultivars, small-flowered cultivars, and late-flowering species, that bear flowers in summer and into early fall on the current year's shoots.

Clematis plants prefer porous soil that is well-drained and slightly acidic. Maintain a pH between 5.8 and 6.5: any higher and the plant is susceptible to yellowing.Provide plants with a late winter mulch of compost or well-rotted manure, but avoid the crown when doing so.
