Joy Creek Photo Archive (c) all rights reserved	(C. 'Niobe' x C. 'Pohjanael') Uno Kvistik named this lovely plant for his daughter-in-law. The flower's six sepals are boat-shaped and slightly wavy along their margins coming to a down-curved tip. They are a rich red purple with a central bar that only becomes apparent as the flower ages. Red purple anther tips top pink filaments which distinguish the central boss of stamens. Because Clematis `Huvi' is fairly compact, it is suitable for container growing as well as in the garden. Early to late summer. 6-8 ft. Purple Red flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Hard-prune at the end of winter.
