Clematis Alpina and Macropetala

VARIETIES OF ALPINA AND MACROPETALA CLEMATIS
Ideally suited to the 'lazy' gardener. Alpina and Macropetala clematis are fully hardy and require very little pruning. Ideally suited to climbing through shrubs and small trees, they also look great grown against a wall and fence.

The flowers range from the small nodding blue flowers of Clematis alpina 'Columbine', through to the white larger star shaped flowers of Clematis 'Rosie O'Grady', the alpina and macropetala clematis are real stunners.
