Notes
'Tekla' clematis (Clematis 'Tekla') is a vine for containers, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and privacy screens. 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. The large, velvety magenta-pink blooms appear freely from early to late summer on vines 5 to 7 feet tall. Mogens Nyegaard Olesen bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Obsidian coral bells, Little bluestem, and Christmas fern.
