Notes
'Luther Burbank' clematis (Clematis 'Luther Burbank') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. 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. The violet blooms have lighter stripes, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. A.N. Volosenko-Valenis bred it.
Pairs well with Jeana garden phlox, Green Spice coral bells, and Susan magnolia.
