Clematis ' Mikelite', which features deep mauve/violet blooms with a subtle dark stripe through each petal & creamy white anthers, looks outstanding when grown against dark green or even yellow shades. This hardy perennial climber is a modern viticella hybrid strain that is very easy to grow & maintain, flowering between July & September. It is perfectly suited to growing in pots & containers & can also be trained up a trellis or against a pergola; it is even happy to scramble through your other garden plants in the border. For an exceptional colour display, we recommend growing Clematis ' Mikelite' with a yellow-flowering Clematis or a climbing pink rose.
