I ordered this clematis online, and didn't realize what small flowers it had until the first bloom. They are only about 2" across, but are fully double, and it blooms very prolifically. Of all my clematis, this is one of the most vigorous, and doesn't seem as susceptible to wilt as some of the others. The color of mine isn't anywhere near as intense as a couple of the pictures here (will have to post one later), more a very muted, dusty-looking dark mauve-purple. Overall, I've been pleased with it's performance, though I would have located it somewhere differently had I realized how small the blooms would be.

My sister lives in lower Michigan, and it is obscene the way this plant grows and flowers for her... no matter where she puts it! Mine in Tn is in the shade, and not nearly as beautiful. I am, however, moving it this fall and hope to have better luck with it. Absolutely my favorite clematis!

I've only added this clematis to my collection last year & already I was very pleased with it. The flowers are small compared to many clematis but it covers the plant & is a strong grower. I love the dusky darker pink & the fact the flowers are double. For anyone who's a clematis enthusiast, I highly recommend this one.

This selection is believed to have arose sometime in the 16th century! The fact that you can still find it today is testiment to its value as a flowering vine. The flowers are fully double and a dusky vilet-purple. The pedicels are long, giving this selection the added value of being suitable as a cut-flower. It is one of the few double-flowered viticellas on the market.
