Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	We have always admired the hybrids of the late Masako Takeuchi for their pure shapes and subtle coloration. We are pleased to be able to offer this one, a cross between C. 'Barbara Jackman' and C. 'Mrs. N. Thompson'. The early blooms of Clematis `Frau Susanne' measure 6 to 7 inches across; the later ones are smaller. Their creamy white sepals are flushed rosy pink to red at their tips and have wavy margins. The picture is completed with the central boss of soft yellow anther tips. May to June; August to September. 6-8 ft. Pink flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Groom this clematis after it has completed its spring bloom. Be sure to feed after you prune. This will encourage new growth and late summer flowers.
