Description
Single deep-violet flowers cover Clematis Polish Spirit from midsummer into fall, giving walls, fences, and sturdy trellises a long seasonal display. The deciduous vine climbs to about 8 to 13 feet and grows in full sun or partial shade.
Plant it in moist, well-drained soil and keep the root area cool with low planting or mulch. Cut the previous year’s stems back to strong buds in early spring. Sap may irritate skin, and the plant is toxic if eaten by pets and grazing animals; wear gloves during handling and discourage browsing.
