Clematis - Barbara Harrington

Clematis Barbara Harrington, Clematis 'Barbara Harrington', has lovely cerise 4" flowers that have pointed petals with a darker border and contrasting yellow anthers. Exceptional free flowering habit and long bloom time from late June through September. Barbara Harrington looks stunning when planted with climbing roses!

Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread.
