Clematis ‘Rasputin’ is a deciduous climbing clematis known for its intense flower colour and bold summer presence. From early to mid-summer, it produces large, open blooms in rich violet-purple tones, often deepening towards the centre and contrasted by pale, creamy stamens. The petals are broad and slightly overlapping, giving each flower a full, rounded appearance that stands out clearly against the mid-green foliage. Flowering on the current season’s growth, it is straightforward to prune and dependable in performance. Ideal for training over trellis, pergolas, fences, or through shrubs, ‘Rasputin’ adds depth and dramatic colour to vertical planting schemes without becoming unmanageable.
