Clematis Kimiko, 3L Pelargoniums white bell-shaped flowers in springClematis Kimiko (Evipo 066) is an early flowering, evergreen clematis, which bears a wonderful profusion of buds in early spring, against dark green leathery leaves. These unfold into an abundance of star shaped lime white flowers that smother the plant and are lightly scented. This robust clematis from Raymond Evison is said to be an improvement on Michiko and is an undemanding clematis to grow, useful in smaller spaces due to its more compact nature.
