Clematis ‘Kathleen Dunford’

Description

Clematis ‘Kathleen Dunford’ is a striking deciduous climber known for its large, semi-double rosy-purple flowers adorned with golden filaments and dark red anthers. As the blooms mature, their tepals develop a mottled mauvish-blue hue at the edges, adding to their unique charm. Flowering occurs in two waves—first in late spring to early summer, then again in late summer to early autumn, with single flowers appearing later in the season. This moderately vigorous variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for trellises, obelisks, or containers. Keeping its roots cool and shaded encourages healthy growth and abundant flowering. With proper pruning, Clematis ‘Kathleen Dunford’ rewards gardeners with a spectacular floral display year after year
