'Charissima' clematis (Clematis 'Charissima') is a vine for containers, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil. Large 6-8 inch flowers are light pink with a darker central bar around pinkish red stamens. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It blooms three times each season, in May, June, and September.
