Clematis Bijou

Like brilliant, twinkling stars, the jewel-toned blooms on this Clematis add a magical quality to their surroundings. Stunning pale violet and star-shaped, these blooms cover the vine with charming soft color that lasts for weeks in late spring to summer. This vine is a small, manageable size with a mounding habit--growing naturally into the ideal shape for container gardening and hanging baskets. Also, as it's a non-climbing variety, it's useful for filling out and adding interest in a garden bed. For a truly unique look, pair it with a slightly larger Clematis, such as Tranquilite, in a large container. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
