Description
A durable and long-life large-flowered variety, Clematis Doctor Ruppel produces masses of particularly beautiful, delicately ruffled, pale pink flowers, up to 5-8 in. across (13-20 cm), with a wide, deep reddish-pink central bar and prominent, light chocolate anthers. Delicately ruffled, the petals take on lavender highlights as the flowers mature. Flowering comes in two waves: first in late spring and early summer, then in late summer and early fall. Freely produced over a long period, the blooms are so profuse that they often cover the attractive foliage of green leaves. Shade tolerant, this prolific clematis is ideal for scrambling through shrubs or covering trellises, arbors, pergolas, and walls.
