About this plant
Clematis 'Hania' is a deciduous climber known for its large, star-shaped flowers that bloom profusely from late spring through summer. Each flower features velvety, red-violet petals with pale pink, undulating margins, creating a soft, elegant appearance. The blooms typically measure 5 to 7 inches in diameter, adding a touch of beauty to any garden setting.
Originating from Poland, 'Hania' was bred by renowned clematis breeder Szczepan Marczynski in 2000 and named after his mother, Hanna. This cultivar is appreciated for its compact growth habit, making it suitable for small spaces, patios, containers, trellises, or fences. Its early and late blooming periods provide extended visual interest throughout the growing season.

Design tip
Late flowers extend the season, so set it behind or beside plants that finish in midsummer. Train the main stems early on a trellis or fence so the growth spreads sideways rather than bunching at the top.
