It has impressive health and vigor while flowering on the nursery benches. The flowers appear in shades of purple and vary with heat and light intensity through plummy reds and violet blues.

Large, six inch, mid-purple flowers with an explosion of yellow and burgundy anthers. Extremely free-flowering, it blooms from early summer through late fall. Originating in Estonia the Kivistik clematis have a compact growth habit, copious blooms on the current season's growth, an unusually long bloom period, rich colours, great disease resistance, and hardiness to zone 3. Their compact size and long bloom time make them excellent in containers or in the garden.
