Clematis Katharina Fall Foliage appearing in a complementary shade

appearing in a complementary shade of dark green and covering the plant all the way to the ground

alluring purple of the large Deborah Dahl Clematis draws the eye throughout its long bloom season

you can grow it in a container and up a trellis or obelisk

and because it's so compact

Clematis Katharina Fall Foliage appearing in a complementary shadeThe ruffled edges of the sepals and a touch of color in the center make these pale blooms turn heads, especially when they practically sparkle in the sun. You can get a long season with this Clematis; once the flowers begin to wane, cut them back for a vigorous second show. We love Katharina for planting in patio containers, as it's a mediumsized vine great for catching attention in smaller gardening spaces. Clematis 'Katharina' In our EZ Pruning
