Description

Gorgeous periwinkle flowers with yellow eyes that nearly obliterate the foliage of this heirloom hybrid from early through late summer.

This French hybrid (developed around 1820 and related to the classic C. x jackmanii) is an overachiever, boasting 3- to 4-inch blooms that offer weeks of dazzling cut flowers.  Train them on arbors, grow against walls or fences, use for screening unsightly vistas, or to climb over stumps or poles.  C. x durandii reaches 6 to 10 feet tall and blooms all summer. For heaviest flowering, prune back to 12 inches from the ground in early spring. (Pruning Group 3.)
