A compact–to–medium–sized Clematis covered in blooms of dark, rich purple and centers of striking white, a rare combination that pops in the landscape. The Vagabond is also lovely creeping along a border or winding its way through a perennial shrub. Not only is it a strong performer the first time around, it's a great rebloomer. Cut it back after flowering and it'll grow back for another spectacular show. Clematis 'The Vagabond'

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
