Clematis Amaranthine

This extraordinary Clematis from Dutch breeder Ton Hannink features longlasting flowers that face upward on their stems to greet the sun. With a medium flower size and unusual varied purple color, guests will have no trouble spotting them trailing romantically along a trellis. The foliage is unusual for a Clematis: brilliant green and dissected, as much a pop of color as the vibrant blooms. Amaranthine is brand new and exclusive to Spring Hill Nurseries. It’s named after a legendary unfading flower of ethereal beautyand you’ll find it lives up to its namesake. Clematis ‘UTOP01’ PP32583

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
