Nelly Moser ClematisNelly Moser Clematis is a large flowered clematis hybrid. It bears single, traditional clematis flowers which are striking because of their color: Rose or lavender with pink or white stripes.
I don't know why but some N. Moser Clematis vines will display rose striped bloom while other plants will have lavender stripes. Perhaps 2 different strains have arisen. This is an older clematis variety, introduced in 1897. Sadly, the flowers are not fragrant.

This plant will flower more profusely in future years if you prevent it from blooming in its first season. You would have to pinch or shear off any flower buds that form. This is a very difficult thing for most gardeners to do. But if you have the iron will to do it, it will force the clematis vine to direct its energy into establishing a stronger root system which will support more top growth and flowers next year.
Clematis Propagation
Nelly Moser can be grown from semi-hardwood cuttings. Like most other clematis varieties, it can be grown from seed. There is a catch though. It will not come true from seed. You may get different flower colors. Personally, I regard this as a benefit, not a drawback. Nelly Moser is a cold hardy clematis which is perennial in zones 4-9.
