Comtesse de Bouchaud Clematis - Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchaud'
This large-flowering, hybrid clematis cultivar features profuse, 4-6" across, rose pink flowers with creamy yellow stamens. Bloom comes from the current season's growth and appears in a long, continuous summer display. One of the most popular of the pink clematis.
Easily grown in fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Most clematis prefer full sun, but this cultivar tolerates part shade. Roots should be kept cool (shade with annuals or perennials and/or use a 2" mulch) and uniformly moist. Cut back hard in early spring to a pair of buds that are 9-18" above ground.
