In around 1680 a fig was discovered in the gardens of the palace of Versailles, in France, that was thriving during the cold winter. From this the variety, 'Violette de Bordeaux' was created, and it continues to have great tolerance to colder weather compared to other fig types.
Clematis 'Étoile Violette', also known in English as 'Violet Star', is a Clematis created by Francisque Morel in France, in 1885. This classic, RHS Award of Garden Merit variety has beautiful violet purple flowers, with yellow stamens in the centres, all through June, July and August. It is perfect for a bare garden wall or fence, that gets plenty of sun. Very easy to maintain, just prune back to ground level in late autumn. Height: 5m (15'). Spread: 1.5m (5'). Pruning group: 3.
