Clematis 'Duchess of Albany'

Clematis 'Duchess of Albany' is a Texensis type variety of Clematis with unique, small, upright facing, tulip-shaped flowers. The beautiful, bicolour blooms are rosy, pink with dark pink bars on the petals and yellow stamens. This pink bell-shaped Clematis is a popular, and unforgettable variety with flowers appearing profusely from July to September.

Clematis vines are most often planted near a trellis, patio wall, or some structure for support. They can also be planted sprawling over shrubs, stumps, or through perennial gardens.

Clematis is best planted in a location where the foliage and flowers are mostly in the sun, but the roots are kept cool and moist in the shade. Consider using mulch around the root zone in summer and fall. Pruning Group: 3
