This is one of the first varieties of clematis, featuring golden-yellow leaves. The purple-blue flowers create a striking contrast with the leaves. It can be used as a groundcover or climbing plant. It reaches a height of 2–3 m.

Application: This clematis is particularly useful for planting along various types of fences, on stones, tree trunks, deciduous or coniferous shrubs. It is successfully used as a groundcover plant. It clings to supports by means of its leaf tendrils.

Blooming: The small, purple-blue, bell-shaped flowers (with a diameter of 5–6 cm) open widely and are composed of 4–8 lanceolate segments. The clematis blooms at the end of April and in May. It blooms again during the summer, although less profusely.

Care: It is low‑maintenance and frost‑hardy. It prefers partially shaded locations; however, it develops beautiful coloration when grown in a well‑lit spot.

Pruning: It does not require pruning.
