Clematis Dr. Ruppel 1G

This classic flowering vine produces ruffled pink flowers with dark fuchsia central bars. Ideal for climbing trellises, arbors and fences. Deadhead to promote a second blooming in late summer.

This clematis pruning type is Type 2. Type 2 clematis bloom in late spring on old wood and again in late summer on new wood. Prune them lightly in early spring before blooming, removing dead wood and cutting back just a little bit but leaving the buds.
