Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Numerous small extremely fragrant flowers of pale mauve smother the handsome, rugged foliage in summer. This is a vigorous, sprawling, non-clinging perennial that looks glorious spilling over a low wall, down a low bank or over tree stumps. Think of it as a groundcover clematis. Also available: the light blue flowered C. jouiniana ‘Praecox’. Both varieties are drought tolerant once established.

A lovely North American hybrid between Clematis virginiana and Clematis tubulosa raised by Robert Brydon and named for his missus, this herbaceous nonclinging Clematis sprawls from a vigorous free flowering woody base, creating delicate sprays of milky blue Hyacinth-like blooms at leaf axils plus a good patch of divided deciduous foliage. Prominent cream-colored stamens and 4 widely spaced recurving tepals define the faintly fragrant flowers that later develop fluffy silver seed heads. Grateful for moist free draining soil, 'Mrs. Robert Brydon' can enhance cut arrangements, cover an old tree stump or low wall and forge an unifying textural ground cover.
