Clematis 'Mrs James Mason' was bred in 1984 by British breeder Barry Fretwell, a cross between 'Vyvyan Pennell' and 'Dr. Ruppel'. Its 12–15 cm flowers open in the first flush in May and June as double to semi-double, in a rich violet with a reddish-mauve central bar; the second flush in August is then single.
At around 200 cm, 'Mrs James Mason' suits trellises, obelisks and other supports and also thrives in containers. It grows well in both sun and semi-shade, providing an abundance of blooms across its two flowering periods.
'Mrs James Mason' is reliably winter-hardy (zone 6, down to about -23 °C). Cut the plant back to about 100 cm after the first flowering in June — this encourages vigorous new growth and a rich second flush in August.
