This resilient viticella-type clematis, paying homage to the 19th-century Polish–Lithuanian noblewoman and revolutionary, boasts captivating light mauve-blue flowers initially adorned with rosy-violet shading along their central bar, gradually fading as the blooms mature. Exhibiting a deeply textured surface, with crimped and undulating margins, these blooms exude an irresistible charm, ‘Emilia Plater’ is resistant to clematis wilt, and thrives when trained up a sturdy obelisk in a sizeable herbaceous border or left to gracefully scramble through shrubs or trees. Its versatility extends to quickly covering walls or facades, making it an excellent companion for yellow-flowered plants, showcasing both strength and elegance in any garden setting.
