Clematis Silmakivi

A soft purple Clematis with lasting flower power, Clematis 'Silmakivi' produces amazingly long-lasting blooms that hold their form in the garden and in the vase. Silmakivi is a super-hardy Estonian Clematis, and, similar to other Estonian favorites, it will amaze with the sheer number of flowers produced. Easy to establish, 'Silmakivi' delivers bright flowers en masse. This Clematis blooms on both old and new wood, so train the main stems out wide to help retain more vine over winter. In the next season, that training will reward you with perfectly showcased violet flowers. Pair 'Silmakivi' with a darker purple Clematis, such as Plum Gorgeous or Taiga, or let these nuanced tones shine alongside Clematis Snow Storm. Clematis 'Silmakivi'
