    Shorter clematis varieties like this one are great candidates for climbing up and through small trees... or just let them "scramble" through your perennial border! No need to go nuts trying to find a trellis or other support for every clematis you want to grow.

    This is not the same 'Amethyst Beauty' raised by Magnus Johnson in 1975.
