A Historic Beauty with Double Rosette Blooms

The Clematis 'Purpurea Plena Elegans' is a truly distinctive and historic variety that has graced gardens for centuries. It is unique within the robust viticella group for possessing fully double flowers. Throughout the summer, it produces an abundance of small, ruffled, rosette-shaped blooms in a sophisticated shade of dusty reddish-purple or deep mauve. The flowers look almost like miniature vintage roses, adding a texture and charm that is hard to find in other climbers.

As a winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, this plant is celebrated for its toughness and reliability. It is a vigorous grower that is resistant to common diseases, making it a fantastic choice for effortless gardening. It is exceptionally versatile, thriving when trained up walls and arches, but equally happy scrambling through shrubs or tumbling over banks, creating a dense tapestry of double blooms.

• Masses of small, fully double rosette flowers

• Rich dusty purple / reddish-mauve colour
