Product Description
‘Rahvarinne’ is a large flowering, deciduous Clematis that produces an abundance of vibrant, star shaped flowers from July to September, or even longer in mild weather.
This late flowering Clematis bears huge, showy violet-purple flowers that reach 15cm across and will cover the whole plant. The petals are broad and almost oval with a deep pink stripe down the centre, a stunning and unmissable sight!
‘Rahvarinne’ is a compact Clematis that’s perfectly suited to growing up a trellis or obelisk, either in pots on the patio or in the ground, giving your garden a striking feature and extra height. It can also be grown without a support and left to run through nearby shrubs where it’ll provide an extra pop of colour in your borders. As it’s a late season variety, you may want to consider planting and earlier flowers Clematis alongside it, giving you a longer flowering season.
Easy to care for, just needing regular watering and feeding, and pruning is simple, just cut the whole plant back to just about ground level in late winter or early spring and it’ll quickly begin to regrow.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.
- Clematis like a cool ‘root run’ so try and plant so that the roots are shaded. If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting or use groundcover plants to keep the roots cool.
Care Guide
- Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems. Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
- Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.
- Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn.
- Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back all of the old stems to the lowest pair of heathy buds, 15-30cm (6-12in) above soil level.
