| Botanical Pronunciation | KLEM-a-tis vy-ti-SEL-la |
|---|---|
| Lore | Etoile is the French word for star, appropriately used in naming this Clematis variety, which produces an abundance of star-shaped blooms. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Twining stems quickly reach 8 to 12 ft. tall, with support. |
| Bloom Time | Early summer, often repeating in late summer. |
| Design Ideas | Etoile Violette is one of the best clematis for warmer climates, because it blooms reliably with little winter chill. A classic for cottage gardens, trained on an arbor, pergola or trellis, or left unsupported to ramble through shrubbery or as a ground cover. Clematis is a perfect companion for climbing or shrub roses, providing early season color before the roses begin. This variety often re-blooms in late summer when roses are still in peak bloom, providing a spectacular show. |
