This is a very popular and incredibly spectacular climbing plant with a medium height (2–3 m) and large dark red flowers. The plant looks beautiful both in gardens and in pots on balconies or terraces; it is frost-hardy and low-maintenance. It is ideal for cultivation under Polish climatic conditions and blooms exceptionally abundantly!
Application: It climbs excellently on pergolas, fences, walls, gazebos, trellises, and natural supports such as coniferous or deciduous trees, shrubs, and small bushes. It also grows wonderfully in large pots on balconies, terraces, and in small gardens.
Blooming: From May to June and again in August.
Exposure: Any exposure.
Care: Plant the clematis 5 cm deeper than it grew in the pot and at least 30 cm away from other plants or walls. Mulch the soil around the plant with bark. Provide some shade to the base with, for example, low-growing shrubs, and before winter cover the base with bark up to 10–20 cm high. It grows best in fertile, humus-rich, well-draining soils that are rich in calcium (pH 6–7). Begin fertilizing in April and water intensively during the growing season.
Pruning: Since the spring bloom appears on last year’s shoots, at the turn of February and March remove dead and diseased shoots, and lightly trim the healthy ones – in the first year after planting, cut about 30 cm above strong buds, in the second year about 70 cm, and in subsequent years about 150 cm above the ground.
