Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon' is one of the most instantly recognisable Viticella cultivars. The French nurseryman Francisque Morel raised it in 1900 from a cross of C. viticella 'Rubra grandiflora' with 'Ville de Lyon'. Lost during the First World War, it later reappeared under the incorrect name 'Jules Correvon', was eventually restored from a single specimen at Hidcote Manor, and regained its correct name around 1972. Its flowers carry four to six wine-red, rhombic tepals with gently twisted, recurving tips that lend the plant a vivid three-dimensionality. Cream-to-yellow anthers on white filaments provide a striking contrast. At 10–12 cm across, the flowers impress with their velvety intensity.
The main flowering period runs from July to September; 'Madame Julia Correvon' is regarded as one of the most prolific bloomers in its group, covering its support with a dense mass of flowers for weeks. With a height of approximately 300 cm, it is excellent on trellises, obelisks, trellis frames and fences. It combines particularly beautifully with roses – its vivid wine-red nestles perfectly among climbing rose frameworks. It also thrives through large shrubs or loosely woven into ornamental trees. The plant prefers full sun to partial shade in nutrient-rich, moderately moist, well-drained soil.
'Madame Julia Correvon' is very hardy (Zone 5, down to –28.8 °C) and reliably suited to continental climates. Care is limited to a hard prune in March, cutting back to approximately 25 cm above ground – standard for Pruning Group 3. This keeps the plant vigorous and promotes generous flowering the following year. Thanks to its robustness and straightforward maintenance, 'Madame Julia Correvon' is a particularly recommended choice for gardening beginners.

It was actually a coincidence that she moved in with me: I had ordered 3 x "Etoile de Violettes" and it was not available. As a replacement I got "Madame Julia Correvon".
At first I was disappointed with the flower: it looks so crippled. So I decided to dig her up again and replace her with "Royal Velours" and "Viola". But I didn't want to throw her away, so I planted the 3 plants in a somewhat larger pot. That way I can cut her right down and clear her away after flowering. So she looks so great in the photo because it is 3 plants in one pot !! In the meantime I like her too: it's the mass of flowers that does it ! I learned from this to give roses or clemis in pots another chance, even if they disappoint at first. Sometimes you are positively surprised after all.
Anyone who looks closely can make out the pot in the photo. She has been in that pot for quite a long time, and it looks tiny when the 3 plants rise out of it in full bloom.
In spring I only remove the top layer of soil, scatter on slow-release fertiliser and fresh potting compost, and off we go. As soon as the clemi has grown tall enough to climb up the lowest branches of the cornelian cherry, which I cut specially as a climbing frame, I put the pot next to it and in no time the Madame has conquered the tree and adorns it with a firework of flowers.

Madame Julia Correvon grows at my place into a white deutzia in partial shade. Back then I didn't yet know that viticellas prefer full sun, and so at first she flowered only sparsely. But when we thinned out the shrub, she went full throttle and surprised us with a true splendour of blooms. Especially when the small white flowers of the deutzia bloom together with the wonderful velvety red-purple clematis flowers, it makes a wonderful picture.
At first I was a little sceptical about winter hardiness (climate zone 6), but she is really very hardy.Automatically translated · Show original
'Madame Julia Correvon' - what a splendour.. the absolute most free-flowering clematis I have.. and she is quickly up at the rose arch. My boyfriend found her interesting at the garden centre and I thought, well, I can give it a try..
We bought "Julia C." in May 2009 and in that late spring she made it at a breathtaking pace all the way to the top of the rose arch.
I can only recommend her ... By now the neighbour has one too ;0)Automatically translated · Show original
I couldn't upload the photo of Julia C.. so here is another try..
By the way, it's true that Julia likes to stand in the blazing sun.. she likes it.. Yukikomachi prefers the shadier side.. that's why this wonderful clematis is on the other side, with a perennial vetch "Lucky Lipps" at her side for support..Automatically translated · Show original
My plant blooms beautifully, but unfortunately facing the wrong way, so I can't see the flowers. Can I cut it back after 2 years and dig it up to give it a different spot? If so, in which month?
Thanks for any tipAutomatically translated · Show original
