Expert Gardener Purple Clematis Live Perennial Plant, 1.5 gal, Full Sun

This purple clematis is a live perennial vine that brings vertical color to sunny outdoor spaces. Its large, showy blooms add interest to gardens, patios, porches, and containers. Clematis climbs as it grows, so it needs a trellis or other support to grow upright and spread out. It blooms from late spring to early summer and is suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 5a to 9b. Plant in a well-draining spot and avoid wet or poorly drained areas. Water regularly until established, then water as needed. Feed with an all-purpose plant food at the base of the plant in spring and fall.

• Includes 1 live purple clematis perennial plant in a 1.5 gal grower pot for outdoor use.
• Grower-stated mature size is 1 ft to 3 ft tall and 1 ft to 3 ft wide.
• Best used where its climbing habit can add height, including garden beds, patio containers, porches, side tables, and plant stands.
• Newly transplanted plants need consistent, deep watering to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, typically about 1 to 2 in of water per week. Check daily during hot, dry weather.
• After arrival, remove from packaging, give fresh water, and allow 24 to 48 hours to rehydrate and settle before planting or repotting.
