This is year 2 for mine, I got it mail order (Garden Crossings) so it was pretty small but it grew like gang busters. I am new to Clematis as well and did not have the benefit of the Dave's Garden community at the time. I was looking for something to cover the fence at one end of my patio and decided on this one. I chose pruning group 3 so I could whack everything down every year. I never see Venosa Violacea offered at local nurseries, this really isn't clematis country I guess and they don't offer too many choices. It is a shame because the details of Venosa Violacea are so pretty, the dark stamens and pretty white star. It makes me happy every time I look at it, and mine has been blooming a long time, since March. The pictures were taken yesterday. |
