Clematis Duchess of Albany (Clematis 'Duchess of Albany') is a uniquely beautiful and charmingly distinctive clematis variety belonging to the Texensis group — prized for its elegant, tulip-shaped flowers in rich, warm deep pink with a brighter, more saturated rosy-pink central bar on each petal that creates a subtle but delightful two-toned effect of exceptional charm and elegance. Unlike the broad, flat blooms of large-flowered hybrid clematis, the Duchess of Albany produces small to medium, upward-facing, tulip-shaped flowers with thick, slightly recurving petals that give each bloom a delicate, nodding, lantern-like quality that sways beautifully in the garden breeze and catches the light from every angle. Introduced in 1890 and one of the most celebrated and widely grown of all Texensis clematis varieties, Duchess of Albany produces its charming tulip-shaped pink blooms in exceptional abundance from midsummer right through to early fall — a long, generous blooming season that has made this historic variety a firm favorite among clematis collectors and garden enthusiasts for well over a century. Vigorous, reliably hardy, and exceptionally easy to grow. Plants arrive in 2 inch starter pots, well-rooted and ready to establish in your garden.
