Clematis ' Ruby' produces elegant, spidery lilac-mauve flowers in a much-needed spring flush from March to April. The fluffy seedheads of this alpina variety of Clematis are just as magnificent & help to add further interest to your garden as they persist throughout the summer. This versatile, climbing Old Man's Beard variety is extremely adaptable, growing strongly in sun or shade & requiring very little pruning. This hardy shrub looks superb climbing up a pergola, against a wall or fence or on a trellis or garden obelisk.
