Yes, ‘Ballet Skirt’ is a beautiful clematis, and won the 2005 Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. I haven’t seen it lately, but certainly it will reappear on retail plant lists. If another reader should happen to see it, we’d be glad to know.
I was quite glad to see the article on Clematis in the Summer 2011 issue. One of the things which intrigued me was the author’s reference to Clematis Ballet Skirt. This is a variety from Stanley Zubrowsky of Prairie River, SK and a friend of mine. This Clematis has become rare in Canada these days so this is a particularly special place. As an aside I am looking for a source of this plant.
