This strong–performing, compact climber produces tons of blooms for several months. The medium–sized, ruffled, violet–purple flowers feature central red bars down each sepal. The attractive green foliage stays lush and attractive throughout the season, growing on a compact vine—a great, space–saving way to add lush foliage and flowers to the garden. Ashva looks lovely when climbing up a trellis, fence, obelisk, lamp post or mailbox. Clematis 'Ashva'

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
