Description
Boasting a venerable heritage, Betty Corning is a Clematis with the dignity and standing of royalty. It first debuted in 1932 and has been capturing hearts across the nation ever since. Spring brings out Betty's new bronze hued foliage which adds charming understated interest to any already lush garden. Not to be outdone, the summer sun teases out Betty's blue-violet bells and the sweet perfume that accompanies them. Never denying a chance to soar, this Clematis will eagerly climb anything it can get its tendrils on - lampposts, fences, and even other shrubs! Preferring overhead sun and shaded roots, a good mulching will keep Betty happy all season long. Zones 4-9. Pruning Group III.
