If you believe fragrance is the soul of a garden, Rubromarginata Clematis will win your heart instantly. From midsummer through early fall, this vigorous deciduous vine erupts in clouds of small, starry white flowers, each delicately brushed with rose-purple margins and tips. The effect is airy, romantic, and unforgettable—especially when paired with its sweet, vanilla-like perfume that drifts through patios and garden paths.
Unlike many clematis that bloom briefly, Rubromarginata Clematis delivers a long, generous flowering season on fresh new growth. Its billowy habit softens structures beautifully, whether climbing pergolas, fences, trellises, or arches. Dark green foliage provides a rich backdrop for the luminous blooms, while its flexible growth allows it to scramble through shrubs or spill casually along garden edges.
Hardy, adaptable, and surprisingly easy to grow, this hybrid combines the best traits of its parent species for outstanding performance. With a simple hard prune in late winter and cool, shaded roots, Rubromarginata Clematis rewards gardeners with rapid growth, resilience, and a spectacular late-season show. It's the perfect clematis for gardeners who want elegance, fragrance, and reliable results all in one vine.
