Clematis ‘Etoile de Malicorne’

An old, early flowered variety that is still deservedly popular, Clematis ‘Etoile de Malicorne’ is celebrated for its large and generous blooms that offer two flushes. From late spring to early summer, and again in early autumn, ‘Étoile de Malicorne’ bears large, star-shaped lavender-rose flowers measuring 15–18 cm in diameter with wavy edged petals and a striking central stripe of purple red. Impressive flowers paired with a long blooming season makes this a rewarding choice for clothing walls, fencing or scrambling over trellis. Pruning group: 2. Ultimate height and spread: 2.5m (8.2ft)
