gillian blades blooming her heart out. partial shade a MUST for this clem to get the subtle pastel tones of the bloom and have them stay on the plant for a while. tones range from pale baby yellow to the palest lavender....very opalescent and pretty with the wavy margin and delicate look. blooms about 4 inches across this year, average for the plant. this plant is 8 years old, had been moved at least once. vines are delicate and break easily over the winter so hard for me to get a lot of size on it without a messy old vine look, so i keep it cleaned up, even at the expense of blooms and size.
