Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden MeritClematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' epitomizes the charm of perennial clematis, boasting a profusion of large, shell pink flowers with hints of lavender and creamy yellow stamens at the center. This beloved favorite among gardeners since the early 1900s offers an enchanting display from early to late summer, captivating bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds alike.As a fast-growing deciduous climbing vine, Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' features a compact yet graceful growth habit adorned with bright green leaves that retain their freshness throughout the season. With a reputation for vigor, it follows the adage: the first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap. Its versatility allows it to climb trellises, arbors, posts, or fences, adding vertical interest to any landscape. Alternatively, it can elegantly meander through shrubbery or intertwine with climbing roses , creating a picturesque blend of blooms throughout the seasons.This cold-hardy beauty is easy to cultivate and less susceptible to clematis wilt than other large-flowered varieties. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-drained alkaline soil, though it adapts well to various soil types and pH levels. Optimal site selection is crucial, with roots shaded and cool while leaves bask in sunlight. Good drainage and protection from strong winds are essential considerations. Moreover, Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' is deer resistant, adding to its appeal in garden landscapes.As a Group 3 late-flowering clematis, it blooms on new wood in summer and fall, rejuvenating each season from winter dormancy. Pruning in late winter encourages robust growth, with additional pruning after the first flush of flowers to stimulate a second bloom. Deadheading is unnecessary, as this group regrows to their mature size each summer, culminating in a late-season flourish of blooms.Versatile and enchanting, Clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' lends itself beautifully to arbors, pergolas, trellises, wall sides, fences, borders, beds, and containers, enhancing any outdoor space with its timeless elegance.Knowing the type of clematis vine you have will help you cultivate vibrant and healthy clematis plants. Follow our expert advice that includes Clematis Planting and General Care as well as How to Prune Clematis with instructions for each type of clematis vine. Using these growing tips will ensure a stunning display in your garden season after
