A Historic Climber with Striking Purple-Blue Blooms

The Clematis 'Star of India' is a highly distinctive and historic variety that has been a favourite in gardens since the Victorian era. Reliable and robust, it produces masses of large, deep purple-blue flowers during midsummer. Each petal is marked with a subtle reddish-plum bar running down the centre, which creates a stunning "star" effect against the violet background, highlighted further by creamy-beige anthers.

This deciduous climber is renowned for being exceptionally easy to grow, making it a fantastic choice for beginners or those looking for a low-maintenance plant. It is vigorous and strong, capable of reaching impressive heights, which makes it perfect for covering tall walls, fences, and pergolas. Flowering generously from mid-summer into early autumn, it provides a bold splash of colour when the garden needs it most.

Key features:

• Deep purple-blue flowers with a reddish-plum central bar

• Reliable and easy to grow (Great for beginners)

• Vigorous habit – excellent for covering high walls

• Blooms continuously from mid-summer

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Star of India' for its dramatic flair. The colour is rich and moody, and because it is such a strong grower, it creates a magnificent backdrop for lighter coloured plants in the border.
