Clematis 'Frances Rivis'
Beautiful very hardy clematis with fresh green toothed leaves. In full flower they will have a mass of pendulous bell shaped satiny-blue flowers though the spring. Very hardy to all conditions except wet soil. Best with roots planted in the shade. They flower on last season's growth, so prune only the dead and weak stems out in late winter. Cool shade. Deciduous.
