One of the notable features of Clematis Diamantina Regal is its crosswise opposite leaf arrangement.

The leaves themselves have a tricompound division, with multiple leaflets that add texture and depth to the plant.
In terms of flower type, Clematis Diamantina Regal boasts pleniflorous blooms, which means that the flowers are densely packed with petals, creating a double or full appearance. These flowers have a medium violet-blue color, with feathered distribution of light green secondary colors, adding a unique and eye-catching touch.
One of the advantages of Clematis Diamantina Regal is its winter hardiness. It can withstand colder temperatures, making it suitable for USDA zones 5 and 6. This makes it a great choice for gardeners in these regions who want to enjoy the beauty of clematis even during the colder months.
When it comes to growing conditions, Clematis Diamantina Regal thrives in semi-shade. While it can tolerate some sunlight, it prefers to be protected from direct exposure. It also requires normal moisture levels and soil fertility, as it does not do well in poor soils. It thrives in humus-rich soil, which provides the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
With a flower diameter of 13-14 cm, the blooms of Clematis Diamantina Regal are sizeable and make a statement in the garden. Despite its impressive appearance, the flowers of this clematis variety are unscented, which may be a bonus for individuals who are sensitive to strong floral scents.
