Design with this plant

Overview

The Clematis 'Sapphire Indigo' is a striking, compact vine, reaching a manageable 3 to 4 feet in height and spread. Famed for its profusion of deep sapphire blue flowers from midsummer to early fall, the 4-inch blossoms transform to deep purple over time. This non-climbing clematis is perfect for containers or as a ground cover in full sun to part shade. Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9.
