Lift the spirits of every garden visitor with this cheerful bright white clematis. The midribs offer the faintest lime sheen, while the margins boast a clean stripe of light purple for a dynamite contrast. Unlike most flowers, where the center of the bloom is the least interesting, Clematis Samaritan Jo ™ Boulevard® sports a fantastic bicolor mix of purple filaments and bright yellow anthers.
Conveniently compact, Clematis Samaritan Jo ™ Boulevard® grows to only about 5 feet tall, making it ideal for growing in a container and adding vertical beauty to the patio, or for cloaking smaller garden structures like lamp-posts in clean, beautiful color. Fantastically vigorous, this variety reaches its full size quickly and gets the blooms underway early, offering up to 6 months of color.
And the message behind Clematis Samaritan Jo ™ Boulevard® is just as beautiful is just as inspirational as the blooms. This compact clematis is named for the workers at a British service called the Samaritan support organization. The Samaritans all go by the code-name "Jo", and they anonymously offer a kind ear to anyone in emotional distress that might be at the end of their rope. The compassionate, selfless spirit of all these Samaritan Jos is something we can all try to emulate. Plant Clematis Samaritan Jo ™ Boulevard® this season and let its message of hope inspire you.
