Etoile Violette Clematis – Wall of Flowers

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.
