✨ Key Highlights
🩵 Sophisticated Silvery-Lavender Bell Blooms
Clematis 'Betty Corning' is adored for its exquisite, nodding bell-shaped blooms with elegantly recurved petal tips. The color is a sophisticated, translucent pale blue with soft silvery-lavender undertones, offering a refined "Morandi" aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any garden palette.

🌸 Rare & Enchanting Fragrance
While the vast majority of Clematis varieties lack any scent, 'Betty Corning' breaks the mold. It carries a delightful, sweet fragrance that gently wafts through the air on warm summer days, adding a sensory layer to your vertical garden.
--------------------------------------
📅 Continuous Low-Maintenance Bloom Machine
Ranked as a prolific rebloomer, this variety boasts an exceptionally long flowering season. As a Group 3 late-flowering hybrid, it creates a continuous, dense veil of blossoms from early summer right through to late autumn, ensuring your garden stays vibrant for months.
--------------------------------------
🛡️ Elite Viticella Genetics & Wilt Resistance
Belonging to the robust Viticella and Integrifolia groups, 'Betty Corning' inherited outstanding genetic health. It is widely recognized as the "King of Heat Tolerance" while remaining extremely cold-hardy down to -30°C. It is exceptionally resistant to common pests and the dreaded Clematis Wilt, making it a reliable performer even in humid, hot climates.
--------------------------------------
✂️ Foolproof Group 3 Hard Pruning
As a Group 3 late species hybrid, vine management is entirely stress-free. There is no complicated tangling to worry about—simply cut the stems back to 12 inches (30 cm) above the ground in late winter or early spring, and watch it bounce back stronger every year. It is a completely foolproof choice for beginners.
--------------------------------------
🌿 Growing Note
For optimum performance, plant 'Betty Corning' in well-draining soil. While it thrives in full sun, it is also one of the most shade-tolerant Clematis varieties available, making it highly versatile for tricky garden spots. Plant size, vine growth, and bloom intensity may vary slightly based on seasonal temperatures and local growing environments.
