Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This clematis has two bloom times! From May to late June, then usually has a second, less profuse bloom in mid-August. This cultivar prefers a shady location where it has protection from afternoon sun. Pink and lavender striped blossoms last for weeks instead of days. This reliable & stunning heirloom was introduced in France in 1897.
