The ‘Crystal Fountain and Samaritan Jo’ Clematis combo is a refined pairing of two complementary clematis, combining unique textures and decorative foliage. This combination marries the double lavender-blue flowers with a feathery silver center of ‘Crystal Fountain’ with the delicate pinkish-white flowers and variegated green and white foliage of ‘Samaritan Jo’. The contrast between the floral forms and the variegated foliage creates a rich and sophisticated visual effect throughout the season. From late spring to summer, the blooms succeed each other and intermingle harmoniously. Ideal for trellises, pergolas, or pots, it brings elegance and originality even to small spaces. It prefers rich, fresh, well-drained soil, as well as a sunny to semi-shady exposure.
