A mid-sized plant bred with beauty and versatility in mind, Erik Ruuth bears large, fully double, 5–6" blooms of creamy white that brighten up nearly any garden site. From late spring into early summer, long-lasting flowers cover the 6–8' plant, attracting pollinators and other beneficial insects to the area. Easy to grow with a reblooming habit, it brings elegance and charm to back borders and feature beds. Planted in groups, it creates a lush privacy screen abloom with graceful flowers over an extended period. For best results, train this clematis to climb a support, such as an arch, fence or obelisk.
