It is Clematis, variety “Cherokee.” It is a flowering vine that grows pretty well here, although it does need to be protected over the winter. It is hardy in zones 4-9. Clematis comes in a variety of colors; I have some dark blue and dark purple ones that I’ve put out photos of before.
Thanks Gilly. it was abundant right up until we got the hot dry spell we’ve been having here. The 100 degree (Farenheit) temps we’ve been having since I took that photo has slowed it down considerably.
