Lovely for a patio planting, this compact variety with layered pointed petals is silvery pink, perfectly edged in purple. Dark anthers are tipped in glowing citron. Named for volunteer work that Samaritans offer to others – all volunteers are known as Samaritan Jo. Blooms June-July and again in September.

Gracefully meandering over fences, trellises or through shrubbery; Clematis supply vertical interest. Every perennial garden should have at least one of these incredible vines.
