Clematis ‘Serious Black’

Description

‘Serious Black’ is a bush type that it can stand up on its own but also is the perfect companion for taller perennials which can be used for support. It is easily grown in decorative patio containers as well. The name Serious Black references its extraordinarily dark purple new foliage which matures to deep olive green. In late spring to early summer, ivory colored blossoms about the size of a nickel appear in clusters reminiscent of Sweet Autumn Clematis. They often reappear in midsummer, blooming on the deep purple new growth, and silvery seed heads follow in fall.
