What: A profusion of royal purple flowers burst forth in early summer and continue for weeks. This non-vining clematis is more perennial-like, growing to only 3 or 4 feet annually and then dying back to the base in the winter. SAPHYRA INDIGO™ is attractive supported by a shrub or sturdy perennial, growing through a wire or wooden structure, in a container or rambling along the ground among low-growing companions.
