Description
Sparkle Purple Clematis is a stunning vine covered in gorgeous, deep-purple blooms that open continuously from late spring into mid-summer. Its lively color delivers an inspiring splash against the fresh green leaves, creating a bold statement along trellises, fences, or pergolas. The blossoms may offer a delicate, refreshing fragrance, adding to the plant’s overall interest in the landscape. Butterflies often visit these polished flowers, contributing to an elegant scene throughout the warmer months.
General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4–6 hours of direct light daily for the finest bloom production.
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, water as needed during prolonged dry periods.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of organic mulch regulates soil temperature and humidity; leave a small gap around stems for airflow.
- Pruning: Prune in early spring (before new growth) to remove any dead or weak stems and encourage strong, vigorous shoots. Lightly trim spent blooms to maintain a fresh, tidy appearance.
Sparkle Purple Clematis brings a magnificent mix of color and texture to Michigan landscapes, standing out as a refined vertical accent that remains satisfying season after season.
