Clematis v. 'Etoile Violette'

Late Flowering

Beautifully free flowering variety with deep purple petals, centered with a cluster of creamy white anthers. Lush deep green foliage makes the perfect backdrop for the abundant blooms. This is a lovely variety to grow scrambling among climbing roses or a trellis, or up and over a pergola or arbor. Size: 8-12' vining...
Exposure: Viticella varieties can take more sun than other types of clematis but will perform better shaded from the hottest rays of the afternoon sun. Shaded roots preferred.
Bloom Time: Late Spring and again in fall.
Pruning: 1st year in late January/early February, cut to 6” from ground level. Then cut by half after first flush of blooms is finished. Second year & beyond; late winter cut is to 18” from ground level. Feed after each pruning session with a well-balanced fertilizer
