Clematis ‘Baroness Fookes™’ is a compact, free-flowering hybrid clematis that brings a regal, vertical accent to patios, containers, trellises, or mid-border plantings. Its richly coloured, large ruffled-edge blooms — in a striking purple-blue hue with a darker central bar and vivid red anthers — appear in abundance against a backdrop of dense, mid- to deep-green foliage. Each flower measures roughly 12–14 cm (about 5 inches) across, creating a bold display without overwhelming smaller garden spaces. Because of its tidy 90–120 cm (3–4 ft) habit, this variety suits smaller gardens or containers while still offering the drama and presence of a full-size clematis. Its repeat-flowering nature means you can enjoy colour from late spring into late summer (and again in some seasons), making it a low-maintenance yet showy choice for both new and experienced gardeners.
