Plant Information
Clematis × durandii is a smaller flowered, non-twining, deciduous vine which features showy, 4" diameter, bluish purple flowers with creamy stamens from early summer into fall. Blooms on new growth. Noted for its long bloom period. A cross between C. jackmanii and C. integrifolia. Problems Clematis wilt is a potentially fatal fungal disease that can affect any clematis, but large-flowered, hybrid varieties are the most susceptible. Powdery mildew, leaf spots, rust and viruses can also be problematic. Potential insect pests include aphids, vine weevils, slugs/snails, scale and earwigs. Watch for spider mites. Garden Uses This clematis is best grown as a scrambling rather than an ascending vine. Let it sprawl over and through large shrubs, over old tree stumps or ramble on the ground in a corner of a perennial border. Also, may be tied and trained up a support structure. An excellent vine for long-lasting, often spectacular, summer to fall bloom.
