Notes
'Etoile Violette' clematis (Clematis 'Etoile Violette') is a vine for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and use as a specimen. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Deep purple flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them. Francisque Morel bred it.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Obsidian coral bells, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
