Clematis alpina

Alpine clematis (Clematis alpina) is a fast-growing, climbing vine that blooms in early spring. It produces large, deeply-notched, lavender-blue flowers with creamy white centers. Native to the alpine regions of Central Europe, it prefers a cool climate and prefers growing on shady slopes and in moist soil. It can also thrive in partial shade and is an excellent choice for covering walls, fences, or pergolas. Prune alpine clematis lightly after flowering to control its size and maintain its unique, eye-catching beauty.
