Clematis 'Hikarugenji' was bred by the Japanese breeder Yoshitaroo Nishibe before 1991 in Japan. Its 10-12 cm flowers appear double and glow in a purple-violet shade, often carrying a lavender-blue tinge when young, together with yellow stamens for a striking contrast.
At around 250 cm in height, 'Hikarugenji' suits trellises, obelisks and trellised supports, and also cuts a fine figure in a container. It flowers twice: from May to June and again from August to September, thriving in both sunny and semi-shaded positions.
'Hikarugenji' is reliably hardy (zone 6, down to around -23 °C). Cut the plant back to about 100 cm in June after its first flush so it regrows vigorously and flowers richly again in late summer.
