Description

Introduced in France back in 1900, this beauty holds its own among modern varieties as our top selling pink Clematis over the years. Holder of the Royal Horticultural Society’s prestigious Award of Garden Merit, ‘Comtesse de Bouchaud’ is a classic late-flowering Clematis featuring a profusion of very pretty velvety flowers with ribbed, rose pink petals surrounding yellow anthers.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Climbing 8 to 12 feet high and spreading 3 to 6 feet or more in width, the Comtesse De Bouchaud Clematis is ideal for growing on fences and trellises, mailbox pots, obelisks, posts and other structures. Excellent in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, pink theme gardens, cottage gardens, and butterfly and hummingbird gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 3

Clematis in Group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.
