Clematis viticella 'Etoile Violette'

Its beautiful

Thank you - I have to agree! ;-)))

I won't show you 'The President' - that's a very UN-happy chappy! :-((

lovely colour very nice :))))

It's a very reliable Clematis. :-)

Mine had not a single flower this year. I give up, too. :-(

This is a very nice one ! I love my Clems . My 'President' is happy , it gets totally ignored, it is growing behind a large shrub it was suppose to be trained up the fence but decided it liked the shrub better it grows through and over it ,it has lovely huge flowers ... perhaps it's because it's sheltered and planted behind the shrub .... they like their feet in the shade ...

A beauty, cannot remember if we have this one, have bought so many .....in fact too many OH says!!

If I had to choose ONE Clem, it would be this one. :-)

I had 'The President' in Kent, too, and it kept collapsing. :-(((

Presidents have a habit of collapsing lol I would choose my Arabella she is sturdy and flowers for ages.....and beautiful to look at.

I need a replacement for 'Gipsy Queen' which seems to be on its last legs, so if I can't track one down, I'll look out for 'Arabella'. :-))
