The clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' is a very free-flowering perennial climbing plant, appreciated for its large, delicately veined light pink flowers with a pale cream center. Elegant and luminous, it flowers generously from mid-summer until early autumn.
This variety develops a vigorous but well-controlled climbing silhouette, ideal for decorating a trellis, pergola, fence, or sunny to semi-shaded wall. It prefers rich, fresh, and well-drained soils, with its base in the shade and its head in the sun.
Easy to maintain (pruning group 3 – cut back in spring), clematis 'Comtesse de Bouchard' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for reliable and long-lasting flowering. It is generally unattractive to deer, an interesting asset in rural areas.
