A Captivating Bi-Colour Climber with Strawberry-Pink Stripes
The Clematis 'Souvenir du Capitaine Thuilleaux' is a charming and highly decorative variety that brings a touch of French elegance to the garden. It is famed for its large, star-shaped flowers which feature a creamy-white or pale pink background, boldly adorned with a broad, strawberry-pink bar running down the centre of each petal. This striking two-tone effect makes the flowers pop against the foliage.
This deciduous climber is a reliable performer, blooming freely in early summer and then returning with a second flush of colour in autumn. Following the floral display, the plant produces attractive silky seed heads, adding extra texture and interest later in the season. With a compact and neat growth habit, it is an excellent choice for growing in large pots and containers, allowing you to enjoy its intricate details up close on a patio or balcony.
