Betty Corning Italian clematis (Clematis viticella 'Betty Corning') is a cultivar that was hybridized by Betty Corning in 1932 and carries many of the characteristics of the viticella parent, including a vigorous growth habit and fragrant, bell-shaped, lavender-blue blooms loved by hummingbirds.

A sun-loving vine growing 8 to 10 feet tall, clematis prefers to be planted slightly deep in cool, well-drained soil, with mulch or a groundcover to shade its feet and a solid support to climb.
