Description

Nelly Moser Clematis is a timeless favorite, famous for its distinctive and large pastel flowers. Each bloom features pale mauve-pink petals dramatically striped with a deep carmine-pink bar down the center, creating a striking bi-color effect. It flowers primarily in late spring to early summer, with often a second, lighter flush in late summer. It performs best with some protection from the hottest afternoon sun to prevent its beautiful colors from fading.

  • Iconic Striped, Pastel Flowers: Produces very large, single flowers with soft pink petals each marked by a deep pink central bar, creating a memorable two-tone display.

  • Two Flushes of Blooms: Flowers most heavily in late spring/early summer, often followed by a second, lighter bloom in late summer/autumn.

  • Best in Partial Shade: The flower color holds best when the vine is planted in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, preventing color wash-out.

  • Versatile & Classic Climber: A Group 2 clematis growing 6-10 ft. tall, perfect for fences, trellises, or growing through large shrubs or small trees.

  • Attractive Seed Heads: Forms ornamental, silvery seed heads after flowering.

Faqs

Q: Why did my flowers fade to white?A: The vibrant stripes can fade to nearly white if the plant receives too much intense, hot afternoon sun. Planting it in a location with bright morning light and dappled or afternoon shade will preserve the striking color contrast.
