Description
Winner of the prestigious Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for its truly outstanding qualities, ‘Purpurea Plena Elegans’ Clematis is an incredibly floriferous and fast-growing beauty featuring an explosion of long-lasting rosy purple to purple-red fully double rosettes that nearly cover the foliage beginning in mid summer and continuing into fall. At 10 to 12 feet in height, and very durable and easy to grow, PPE Clematis is a fine choice for growing up a trellis or large obelisk, on a fence, up and over pergolas, arches and other overhead structures, and may also be trained to grow up and through small trees.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Climbing 10 to 12 feet high and spreading 4 to 6 feet or more wide, the Purpurea Plena Elegans Clematis is ideal for growing on fences, trellises, arches, lamp posts, obelisks, poles, pergolas, arbors and other structures. Excellent on a tall obelisk or trellis in pots, planters and other containers for situating on patios, decks and around other outdoor living spaces where the amazing flowers can be viewed from close up. A fine addition to Clematis gardens and purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet apart to cover fences, trellises, and walls
Growing Preferences
This Clematis is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Though it tolerates dry periods when established, it will appreciate an occasional watering in prolonged periods of dry weather. Make sure not to plant this one too deep as it tends to smother the plant. See pruning instructions just below.
Clematis Pruning Group 3
Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season’s growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 1 or 2 feet. Although you will be removing good stems and buds, this treatment keeps these vigorous growers in bounds. If not pruned, these vines will quickly become a mass of old diseased woody stems producing very few flowers. Always make sure to leave two good buds below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons vines and blooms.

Just planted this week and so far so good. Received in great condition and had to hold in cool garage for two weeks due to weather. Healthy and in good condition upon arrival. I am in the Cleveland Gardenwalk in July and am hoping for a few blooms by then to show how special this Clematis is!———————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! I hope it is blooming also, it should be… 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
