A showstopper in bloom, Gardland Tekla is a free flowering Clematis featuring large and showy 6-inch star-shaped flowers with overlapping petals in a blend of violet, red and pink shades. The first round of flowers come late spring to early summer reblooming late summer into fall. White-tipped burgundy anthers on every bloom are an extra bonus and a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds. A compact grower 5 to 7 feet tall makes Tekla ideal for use in patio containers or on fences, railings, trellises, obelisks, mailboxes and other posts.
