Description

A truly unique addition to any South London garden, Veilchenblau is a rare rambler with clusters of violet-purple blooms fading to soft blue, creating an ethereal, almost mystical display. Unlike many ramblers, it’s thornless, making it perfect for family gardens and tight city spaces. Let it scramble over fences or through mature trees for a touch of woodland romance. Complements beautifully with white or pale pink climbers, such as Madame Alfred Carrière or New Dawn.

Plants supplied in a 6LTR growers pot.
