Notes
'Rhapsody' clematis (Clematis 'Rhapsody') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Violet flowers bloom from June to September, and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Vines reach 6 to 8 feet tall.
