Clematis montana ‘Elizabeth’

Clematis montana 'Elizabeth' is grown for its masses of fragrant and showy flowers. This deciduous vine features mauve-pink flowers which fade to a blush pink from spring through early summer. The flowers permeate the air with a sweet vanilla fragrance. The foliage emerges bronze coloured in spring, quickly ages to green, then develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. 'Elizabeth' is an attractive and popular climber that is commonly used for growing on pergolas, fences, or archways, where it makes for a stunning addition.
