Notes
'Nelly Moser' clematis (Clematis 'Nelly Moser') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. The pale pastel flowers have a carmine pink bar down each petal and reach 7-9 inches wide. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Foam flower, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
