This vigorous, climbing perennial vine is known for its stunning deep purple flowers, which bloom profusely from mid-summer to early autumn. It exhibits a twining habit, making it ideal for trellises, fences, or arbors. Recommended for hardiness zones 4-9, it thrives in moderate temperatures and full to partial sun. The soil should be well-drained and nutrient-rich for optimal growth. The mature vine reaches up to 10-12 feet in height, providing a lush vertical display in gardens. With no specific fall color, the plant focuses its show-stopping appeal on its vibrant blooms rather than foliage. While not reliably deer-resistant, it is a favorite for pollinators. Clematis vines benefit from cool root zones, so mulch is suggested to protect roots from heat.
