Clematis Lady Betty Balfour
Clematis Lady Betty Balfour is a vigorous climbing clematis that brings fresh flower interest later than many other vines. Its blossoms show a clear purple tone with a subtle warm cast, and the yellow anthers add a bright point at the center. Each flower measures about 3 to 5 inches across, and the vine can reach 9 to 12 feet, so it fills vertical space with color where you can see it and enjoy it. For best performance, give it full sun and a support it can climb
Keep color going later in the season
An unusually late flowering period means you can still enjoy new blooms when many garden areas start to look tired. This timing is a real advantage for patios and outdoor living spaces, because it helps your garden stay inviting when you are spending more time outside. It also gives you something fresh to look forward to after early-season vines have slowed down.
Make vertical spaces look designed, not bare
A flowering vine helps you use the “air space” in your landscape. Train Lady Betty Balfour on a trellis, fence, arbor, or post and you add a finished look without adding more plants at ground level. Because it grows 9 top 12 feet tall, it can dress up tall structures and help define outdoor areas in a simple, attractive way.
Enjoy color that works with what you already grow
Purple flowers pair easily with many garden styles, from white blooms and silvery foliage to warm pinks and oranges. The yellow anthers add contrast you can see from a distance, while the 3 to 5 inch flower size gives the vine a noticeable presence without feeling heavy. The result is a clean, confident look that blends well and still stands out.
In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the YELLOW pruning category. It blooms best on old vine. Use caution when pruning to retain healthy stems from last season for best flowering.
