Clematis ‘Dr. Ruppel’

Are you searching for a climbing plant that offers exceptional, extended flowering interest throughout the UK growing season?

Introducing the Clematis ‘Dr. Ruppel’, a moderately vigorous climber displaying large, showy flowers that range from rosy pink to deep pink, appearing initially in May and June, with a significant repeat performance in August and September. Beyond the bloom, you will appreciate the attractive, silvery and brown silky seedheads that develop later in the year, offering subtle seasonal texture against the backdrop of its persistent green foliage.

For the best performance in your garden, this variety thrives when planted in moist but well-drained neutral to alkaline soil, remembering the key requirement to keep the roots cool and shaded while allowing the main body of the plant to receive full sun or partial shade, tolerating both sheltered and exposed UK settings. This robust climber is excellent for adding vertical interest to cottage or city gardens, making it a perfect choice for covering arches, pergolas, or softening wall-side borders, while also providing valuable nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies.
