Plant description
A durable, long-lived large-flowered clematis with delicately ruffled pale pink flowers 5 to 8 inches across, each with a deep reddish-pink bar. It blooms in two waves from late spring to early fall, tolerates shade, and climbs 6 to 12 feet over trellises, arbors, walls or through shrubs in moist, well-drained soil.
- Flowers
- Delicately ruffled pale pink flowers 5 to 8 inches across with a deep reddish-pink central bar and light chocolate anthers, taking on lavender highlights as they age. Two waves: late spring to early summer, then late summer to early fall.
- Pruning
- Prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or weak stems down to a pair of healthy buds, and avoid heavy pruning or flowers are lost. A light trim after the first flush of bloom encourages a second flush.
