If a clematis could turn heads and stop traffic, ‘Dr. Ruppel’ would be the one. Massive, 6-8” blooms in soft pink are boldly streaked with a rich raspberry-red stripe, creating a stunning contrast against its deep green foliage. Blooming first in late spring, this showy variety throws an encore performance in late summer, covering trellises, fences, and arbors in a dazzling display of color. Vigorous, adaptable, and a true garden performer, this clematis is an easy choice for anyone looking to add a pop of bold beauty.
