Clematis 'Doctor Ruppel'.
Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been popular among gardeners, beginning with Clematis × jackmanii, a garden standby since 1862; more hybrid cultivars are being produced constantly. They are mainly of Chinese and Japanese origin. Most species are known as clematis in English, while some are also known as traveller's joy, a name invented for the sole British native, C. vitalba, by the herbalist John Gerard; virgin's bower for C. viticella; old man's beard, applied to several with prominent seedheads; and leather flower or vase vine for the North American Clematis viorna. Clematis 'Doctor Ruppel' was introduced into the by Jim Fisk from plants sent to him from Argentina by Dr. Ruppel himself. The variety has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
