Clematis Purpurea Plena Elegans, Clematis viticella 'Purpurea Plena Elegans', has double reddish-purple 3" flowers that bloom profusely throughout the season. This elegant variety is very carefree and disease resistant. Thrives in full sun, but will grow in almost any location. Awarded Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. 'Purpurea Plena Elegans' needs a supporting structure to grow properly. Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply a generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Very reliable performers once established; they take a season or two. Prune lightly above the new leaf buds in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. Varieties within this group flower on the new season's growth.
