A Dainty and Distinctive Bi-Colour Garden Icon
The Clematis 'Nelly Moser' is perhaps one of the most famous and beloved large-flowered varieties in the gardening world. True to the elegant spirit of 'Minuet', it produces a prolific display of stunning blooms that seem to glow with a soft, romantic energy. The flowers are truly magnificent, featuring large, pale mauve-pink sepals with a bold, contrasting carmine-pink stripe running down the centre of each petal, creating a striking "starburst" effect.
A proud winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Nelly Moser' is a vigorous and reliable performer. It is highly prized for its "two-in-one" flowering habit, providing a heavy flush of blooms in late spring and early summer, followed by a second display in late summer. While it climbs beautifully up trellises and arches, it is particularly famous for its love of partial shade, where its delicate pink tones are protected from the midday sun. Its manageable habit also makes it exceptionally suitable for growing in large patio containers.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Nelly Moser' for its timeless charm. It is the quintessential cottage garden Clematis. From a distance, it gives a lovely rosy-mauve glow to the garden, but up close, the intricate "lipstick" stripe on each petal is simply exquisite, making it an absolute joy to examine and admire.
