Modest in height and so ideal for growing in a container or to hide the bare stems of other taller growing, early flowering clematis. The overlapping sepals are broad but pointed. The filaments are white with red anthers. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. Late spring to early summer; late summer. 4-6 ft. Blue Violet flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Early flowering in the spring on the previous year's growth. If you hard prune, you eliminate most or all of the early blooms. Instead, groom this after flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This encourages new growth for possible summer bloom.
