We're really impressed with Clematis Minister for its health and vigor even flowering well right on the nursery benches. The flowers bloom in shades or purple and vary with heat and light intensity through plummy reds and violet blues. The compact habit (one of its parents is Hagley Hybrid) makes it an excellent choice for growing in a patio container. Pruning: 2
