About this plant

  • Description

    A striking early large-flowered clematis with oversized pale pink blooms, each petal marked by a richer rosy stripe. It brings elegant vertical colour in early summer, then often flowers again later in the season.

  • Why we like it

    Dr Ruppel is a classic clematis cultivar that offers generous and dependable flowering without overwhelming its space. It’s ideal for smaller gardens or patios, where its romantic colouring and long flowering season add soft drama. Pair it with climbing roses or let it twine through shrubs for layered interest.

Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant with the crown just below soil level in fertile, well-drained soil. Provide support and ensure the roots are kept cool and shaded, especially in sunny positions. Water well until established.

Care tips

Prune lightly after first flowering, then again in late winter to tidy and encourage repeat blooms. Feed in early spring and midsummer.

Winter care

Mulch the base in autumn and prune lightly in late winter to remove damaged stems and encourage fresh growth.
