Clematis 'Montana Elizabeth' - Fragrant

This sweetly scented is a very large deciduous climber with charming, single, pale pink flowers adorned with a satin sheen, 2-3 in. across (5-7 cm), from late spring to early summer. The blossoms are so profuse that they generally cover the foliage of ternate, mid-green leaves, emerging bronze. Opening from pointed, mauve-pink buds, the flowers bear 4 broad petals, strong mauve-pink at first, then slightly fading in their center as the flowers mature. Their delightful fragrance fills the air as you pass by. A long time favorite, this vigorous and extremely floriferous vine is perfect for covering a wall, trellis, fence or arbor. Plant it near an entrance or path where the lovely fragrance can be enjoyed.
