Fleuri Clematis Plant

The Clematis 'Fleuri Vining Plant is a hybridized cross between Clematis Evipo042 and Clematis hybrid Boulevard Fleuri and is one of the most strikingly beautiful clematis vines you will find. Featured in Raymond Evisons 2009 Chelsea Flower Show exhibit, this compact, deciduous perennial is a dwarf cultivar suitable for containers, though perfectly happy in the ground. Having 6 petalled, vivid purple blossoms with neon-bright, reddish-purple color along the midribs, the creamy pink, spiky flower center is the perfect accent.
