Clematis 'Yukikomachi' bears subtle lavender flowers with pale green-yellow stamens from May to June, with a second flush following in late summer. To help maintain the colouring of this compact cultivar, it should be grown in a shaded position, making it the ideal choice for a container to brighten up that shady patio corner. This Japanese bred Old Man's Beard variety is more rarely seen than other popular Clematis and is a particularly charming choice for any garden. Height: 2.5m (8'). Spread: 1m (3'). Pruning group: 2.
