About This Plant
Clematis 'Dr. Ruppel' is a vigorous and hardy large-flowered variety, blooming with abundant, exquisitely frilled, pale pink flowers that measure 5-8 inches (13-20 cm) and feature a striking deep reddish-pink central bar and elegant, light chocolate anthers. As the blooms mature, they take on hints of lavender, adding to their alluring charm. With two distinct waves of flowering - in late spring and early summer, followed by late summer and early fall - this prolific clematis is a constant delight. Its profusion of blooms is so abundant that it often obscures the attractive green foliage. This shade-tolerant gem is perfect for climbing through shrubs or adorning trellises, arbors, pergolas, and walls. Elevate your garden with the luxurious beauty of Clematis 'Dr. Ruppel'.

Our Tips & Recommendations
Planting Tip
Clematis love "cool feet, warm heads." Mulch the root zone well and position so the vine can climb into sunlight. Plant the crown 2–3 inches below soil level.
Pruning by Group
Know your pruning group! Group 1 blooms on old wood (light trim after flowering), Group 2 is light prune in late winter, Group 3 gets a hard prune to 12 inches in early spring.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first year. A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
