Introduced in 1910 by the Jackmans of Woking nursery, Clematis 'Lady Betty Balfour' bears stunning purple-blue flowers throughout summer and into autumn. It's well suited to growing in a mixed herbaceous border or large pot, and can be trained up a trellis or obelisk.

For best results grow Clematis 'Lady Betty Balfour' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. As with all the late-flowering clematis, 'Lady Betty Balfour' falls into Pruning Group Three: simply cut stems back to the lowest pair of buds in February or March.
