Who can tell me what the darkest clematis are? I'm thinking of putting one with a once blooming soft pink rose. I know I will have to get the blooming time right.
I saw one I think is called Nigrita (I know I spelled that wrong).

Here are a few dark colored Clematis that you might consider:
Negritianka: http://www.chalkhillclematis.com/nursery_shop/clematis/negritianka.html
Black Prince: http://www.chalkhillclematis.com/nursery_shop/clematis/black_prince.html
Thanks Shirley,
Negritianka was what I was wanting to find. Boy I really blew the spelling. Thanks for Black Prince. While I was looking up Negritianka I found one called Romantika that is suppose to be real dark also. DM
You're in luck because "Negritianka" and/or "Romantika" are both available from Chalk Hill Clematis Nursery. If you ordered them now, you'd probably receive them in early Spring.
Happy planting!
I grow Negritianka and just love it. People always comment on it because it's dark but has a lot of color in it. It's also the easiest one I've had to get established and bloom a lot.
Doss,
Thanks for the comments. It's nice to here from people who are growing them already. DM
