Looking great a year later.
I received this plant as a bare root in May 2024. It survived the winter and is thriving! I'm excited to see it bloom this year.

A Keeper
It seemed to struggle at first, then appeared to completely die. But a year or so later it came up and has been a strong growing/blooming plant ever since. I guess it was working on roots. Beautiful flowers.

Well grown plant. very hot weather.
The John Paul 2 Clematis arrived with good roots and very small top growth. I planted it immediately. Despite protective shading cover it did not thrive. The daytime temperatures here in July were over 95 f for over a week. I watered every day. The roots were so well developed that I am hoping it might have survived to emerge in fall weather.

Thank you Stark Brother's for a nice plant!
I planted the John Paul II from Stark Bros on May 17, 2024 and on August 02, 2024 I had the first flower and I am so excited that it flowered this first year that I had to share a couple photo's of it. Not the best pictures as the flower is facing inward to my round trellis, but oh well!
The John Paul II replaced a purple clematis that was 20+ years old and it died off 2 years ago and I bought from Stark Brothers this one and so happy that I did, Thank you for providing me with a nice plant that is flourishing, it makes me smile.

Just beautiful!
I love this plant! I bought three of them to line my front walk. They arrived at my door packaged nicely. Planted them in mid July and by September I have multiple flowers on all three plants

Love this clematis. It is so delicate looking. When you think it's finished flowering, it flowers again. The only problem I have with it, is the Japanese beetles also like it. But it survived and flowered again!

Beautiful variety of clematis
Beautiful variety of Clematis came healthy and I planted in a well drained area , I have had clematis for 30+ years and the best fertilizer for them in my opinion is alfalfa meal . I have 20-30 varieties as they are my favorite perennial . This variety is gorgeous. I was so glad Starks had this

Doing great
I was worried after this past winter, even though it was in the greenhouse, thought I had lost it. But, behold, this spring it has been growing full and beautiful. Far more growth than last year. Love it and am looking forward to beautiful flowers.

Still quite small, excited to see what it does next season
I live in NE Kansas, zone 6a. I'm excited to see Stark Bro's carrying this variety of clematis! It did arrive quite small, but I planted it about a month ago and have fertilized it once with rose fertilizer. While I haven't seen any growth yet, it hasn't died or wilted, and I've been careful not to over-water it.
Thanks again for carrying this variety! I love all the clematis developed by Brother Stefan Franczak!
