Clematix × jackmanii
'Evipo038 Crystal Fountain'
Origin: This particular cultivar was produced in Japan, in May 1994 by Hiroshi Hayakawa. It was a sport of ‘H.F. Young ‘, and selected by Hayakawa. Cuttings of the plant were then propagated by Raymond J. Envision in Domarie Vineries Les Sauvagees, St. Sampsons, Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom in 1994. Hayakawa originally named the plant ‘Fairy Blue’, but the name was rejected by the ‘Union for the Protection of the New Varieties of Plants’. Instead, the name ‘Evipo038’ was chosen as the name to put on the patent on November 20th, 2007. The plant was brought to Canada on January 10th, 2003, and trialed in Saint Thomas Ontario. The plants were initially kept in a poly house until they were planted out in the field at the nursery location.

Opinion
"
The Clematis cultivar Clematis x jackmanii ‘Evipo038 Crystal Fountain’ is a beautiful, vining plant that produces quite showy blooms during the late spring into early fall. The colours are more of a pastel tone, but the flowers are still eye-catching. The plant is hardy, and easy to grow, which makes it an attractive plant for home-gardeners. It also does not grow massive compared to some Clematis, making it more manageable. With this plant being in Pruning Group 2, it makes it possible to prune without sacrificing all of the blooms for the following year. For anyone who loves Clematis, I would think this plant is a must have.
