It is prized for its abundant, nodding, bell-shaped, indigo-purple flowers with recurved tips that bloom for a very long period from early summer into fall. A Japanese hybrid with a non-clinging habit, requiring support to climb. It features distinctive, nodding, bell-shaped flowers and an exceptionally long bloom season. As a Group 3 clematis, it blooms on new wood and should be pruned hard in late winter.
