Clematis alpina, the Alpine clematis, is a flowering deciduous vine of the genus Clematis. Like many members of that genus, it is prized by gardeners for its showy flowers. It bears 1 to 3-inch spring flowers on long stalks in a wide variety of colors.[1] C. alpina is native to Europe; in the United States it grows best in American Horticultural Society zones 9 to 6,[1] which are generally found in the southern USA.[2][3]
Cultivars include the pale pink 'Willy', dark blue 'Helsingborg' and lavender blue 'Pamela Jackman'.[1]
Clematis alpina 'Pamela Jackman'[4] has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
