Clematis Baroness Fookes™

Clematis Baroness Fookes™

Bring a sense of royalty to your garden with the richly colored Clematis Baroness Fookes™. This compact, climbing clematis showcases large 5 inch ruffled edge blooms in a striking shade of rich purple blue, accented by a darker central bar and vivid red anthers. Its lush green foliage offers the perfect backdrop, making each bloom stand out brilliantly from late spring through early fall. Designed for dependable performance in Zones 4 through 9, this free flowering variety is as reliable as it is beautiful.

Ideal for patios, containers, or mid border plantings, Baroness Fookes™ is well suited to small gardens and tight spaces. Its tidy 3 by 3 foot habit makes it easy to train on trellises or arbors, and its repeat blooming nature ensures continuous color across the growing season. Whether displayed alone or paired with soft white or silver foliage, this clematis adds depth and vertical interest with minimal maintenance.

Grow Clematis Baroness Fookes™ in full sun to part shade in fertile, well drained soil. Classified in pruning group 3, it should be cut back to about 6 inches in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous new growth. Named in honor of Janet Evelyn Fookes, this clematis combines elegant beauty with compact form, perfect for gardeners seeking bold impact in smaller spaces.
