aka Clematis hybrid

Often called the best double Clematis available and rightly so. Fat buds open to reveal large double blooms with a halo of purple petals surrounding a tight central zone of smaller mauve petals. Just lovely. Plant in a sunny spot in deep, cool, well drained soil. RHS AGM. Deciduous.

Group 2 Later in the season this Clematis may have a second flush of bloom - some of these flowers may tend to be more single than the spring flush.
