Plant Features

Clematis 'Diamantina', a standout double clematis, is highly acclaimed for its abundant and enduring blooms. With each flower evoking a rich blue-purple shade, reminiscent of a dahlia, this cultivar promises up to four weeks of a layered lilac-blue spectacle, beautifully contrasted by its pale yellow "fountain" center. Blooming twice, once in early summer and again in late summer, Diamantina ensures nearly an entire season bathed in its magnificent charm.
