Growing Zones
Turn your garden into a vertical showstopper with the bright, buttery blooms of Proven Winners® Funyella® Clematis USPP#33,363 (Clematis 'Golden Dream'). This exceptional climbing perennial stuns with fragrant golden-yellow nodding flowers from early to late summer.
The bell-shaped blooms have pointed petals that open wide and are held on long stems, making them perfect for trellises and arbors. Funyella® has an abundance of blooms during its long season with a citrus scent. The attractive, slightly leathery green foliage provides excellent contrast and lush coverage.
Funyella® Clematis has a twining, vine-like habit and reaches 6 to 10 feet tall with a 3 to 4-foot spread. Its long, arching stems are wiry yet strong, and the fragrant golden flowers dangle gracefully, each petal often reflexed slightly for a whimsical appearance. While it produces no ornamental seed heads, the flowers make wonderful accents in cut flower arrangements.
This Clematis variety is hardy in USDA growing zones 4 through 9 and thrives across most regions. Clematis have long been prized in European and American gardens for their climbing ability and long bloom times, and Funyella® brings a rare yellow color into the mix.
