Clematis ‘Princess Kate’ (‘Zoprika’) PP23,850
Blooming Time
Exposure
`Princess Kate’ is certain to be an eye-catcher in any landscape with large, deep-purple buds, opening to reveal bright white petals of thick substance, outward-curling, with dark maroon undersides and throats. These uncommon tulip-shaped blossoms face outwards and are carried atop delicate burgundy stems, blanketing the somewhat shrubby plants. Left alone, `Princess Kate’s busy, spreading habit will meander through the landscape and over retaining walls, but can also be trained to climb for a more traditional look.
