This is a vigorous and unusual clematis having dark-green divided leaves, tinged purple when young and masses of double cream flowers flushed with pink in late spring. A more compact plant than many of the others of this type, it is suitable for smaller gardens.
A very good variety, easy and trouble free. It will quickly cover large supports such as pergolas, fences or walls.
