""Queen of the climbers"" is what one British Clematis expert calls them.

Description

Choice blooms in late spring and then in late summer. Fully double, bicolored blossoms ranging from pale lavender streaked with rose to deep purple on strong 6- to 8-foot vines. This dynamic plant blooms profusely over two seasons each year; first on old wood in late spring, then again on new wood in late summer (when flowers may be single). Huge flowers, sometimes as much as 9 inches across, are lavishly produced, often for months at a time. Foliage is clean and attractive.

Train them on arbors, grow against walls or fences, use for screening unsightly vistas, or to climb over stumps or poles. Grow them through taller shrubs such as Roses or Vibernums, or through Dogwood trees. They also make a lovely container plant.

Best in light (not deep) shade. Prune for shape, if desired, before new spring growth."
