Duchess Of Albany Clematis – 1 Gallon Pot

---

A vigorous climber and profuse bloomer, ‘Duchess of Albany’ is a texensis hybrid featuring two-tone, tulip-shaped, 3″ diameter fluted pink flowers with a prominent cherry-pink bar down the inside center of each petal surrounding yellow stamens. Pinnately trifoliolate medium green foliage serves as an excellent backdrop for the flowers. At 8 to 12 feet tall it will quickly cover structures up to 10 feet tall. This one starts blooming in July in our gardens and continues through early fall. If left to meander along the ground, Duchess of Albany makes an attractive ground cover or filler around shrubs or as a companion for climbing roses and small trees. Easy to grow, nothing seems to discourage this beautiful flowering vine, even clay soils and blazing sun or part shade.

Growing 8 to 12 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide, the Duchess of Albany Clematis can be grown as a climbing vine to cover arches and pergolas, trellises and obelisks, fences and rails, posts and poles and other structures up to 10 feet or so in height or as a groundcover around large shrubs such as Hydrangeas. Excellent for use to climb small trees and the perfect companion for climbing roses. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, pink themed gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  3 to 4 feet apart for covering a fence

Duche4ss of Albany Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Clematis tend to like sun on their vines and shade on their roots to keep them cooler. So we always plant a groundcover or flowers around the base of the vine to meet this preference. 

Note: All clematis prefer to be planted so that the crown of the plant, where its stem(s) emerge from the soil in which it was grown, is at least 3 to 4 inches below the soil level.
