One of the most popular Clematis ever, 'Nelly Moser' is a deciduous vine which gets covered with a profusion of impressively large star-shaped flowers, up to 8 in. (20 cm), with 8 pink-lilac sepals, each with a carmine stripe that fades in strong sun, and reddish-purple anthers. They give way to attractive globular seedheads. A gardener's favorite since its introduction in 1897! Why? Because it is extremely good-looking, dependable, easy to grow, strong, adaptable to all sorts of garden uses. Blooming in late spring to early summer and late summer to early fall, this vigorous and extremely floriferous Clematis vine won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for its noteworthy qualities.
