Description

An oldie-but-goodie discovered as a chance seedling in Cleveland, Ohio sometime in the 1930’s, from mid summer through early fall the Mrs. Robert Brydon Clematis features masses of starry, cute little soft-lavender flowers with recurved petals surrounding a prominent patch of soft-yellow stamens that radiate in all directions. Sure to brighten up any area, we suggest planting against a dark backdrop where her flowers will truly sparkle in the garden. A vigorous grower clothed in attractive deep green foliage, she is excellent as a climber to 8 feet tall on a trellis, or as a sprawling groundcover reaching 2 feet tall or so and 6 to 8 feet wide. Let her sprawl over a fence or rocks or just over the ground for a great show at a time of year when not a lot of other plants are in full bloom.

Landscape & Garden Uses

The Mrs. Robert Brydon Clematis is ideal for use in the garden as a climber or a sprawler. As a climber to 8 feet tall or so, she is perfect for growing on a trellis, fence, obelisk or any other structure you can tie her vines to. As a sprawler to 2 feet tall and 8 feet wide or so, she is perfect for use as a low border or groundcover, even on slopes. A fine addition to Clematis gardens, blue or purple theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart to cover fences and walls; 6 feet apart for a solid border or groundcover

Growing Preferences

This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.

Clematis Pruning Group 3

Clematis in Group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines can become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.
