  • Dark blooms are stunning against light backgrounds
When grown along a wall or a fence, Etoile Violette creates a canvas of beautiful flowers. It's one of the most free–flowering Clematis, and with its long bloom period, you'll enjoy the view all summer long. To highlight these dark blooms, plant against a light background. While a great choice for covering large trellises and pergolas, it also makes exceptional ground cover. Just plant it in the middle of your perennial bed, and let it ramble through. Clematis Viticella 'Etoile Violette'

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
