Purpurea Plena Elegans Clematis (P.P.E) is a stunning climbing vine. The flowers are double flowers, meaning they have an inner pompom surrounded by outer petals. They are distinct dusty rose colour with a long bloom time from mid-summer to early fall. They can remain on the vine for up to three weeks. It is durable and easy to maintain and train.
One of the oldest clematis cultivars, Purpurea Plena Elegans Clematis (P.P.E) is a winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
The Purpurea Plena Elegans Clematis will attract pollinators to your yard or garden attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Because it is a climbing species, support from a trellis or fence is recommended. New vines emerge from the ground, so pruning should be done in early spring.
Trumpet Vine is a dense, multi-stemmed climbing vine with orange to red trumpet-shaped flowers. They bloom throughout the summer, adding a pop of colour to your landscape. Their fast growth rate and climbing abilities make it well suited for trellises, arbors, walls, and fences. It is recommended that structures are strong enough to bear the weight of the plant as it grows.
Regular pruning is recommended as blooms occur on new growth and it helps control the spreading nature of the plant. Care should be taken when planting the Trumpet Vine, especially in warmer climates as it can spread quickly. It is prone to suckering and will self-seed. Plant the right tree in the right place.
