Arabella Clematis
Clematis x 'Arabella'
SKU
02178
Beautiful, color-changing blooms provide a parade of summer color. Single flowers with slightly upturned sepal edges open to violet-blue, then develop mauve-colored centers and fade to soft blue as they age. A non-vining, bushy, semi-herbaceous clematis that is an excellent choice for containers, or borders where it will grow through shrubbery.
