This is a very popular and incredibly striking variety worldwide, with a medium height (2–3 m) and large dark red flowers with yellow stamens. The plant looks beautiful both in the garden and in pots on balconies or terraces. This clematis produces large flowers (14 cm in diameter) that are velvety and dark red – almost black at the beginning of blooming. It prefers a bright, but not hot, location that is sheltered from the wind. It does not like heavy, clayey, or overly light soils. The soil should be fertile, rich in humus, well‑draining, and moist, with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
This is a very popular and incredibly striking variety worldwide, a plant of medium height (2–3 m) with large dark red flowers featuring yellow stamens. The plant looks beautiful both in the garden and in pots on balconies or terraces; it is frost‑hardy and low‑maintenance, making it ideal for cultivation under Polish climatic conditions. It blooms exceptionally abundantly, twice a year!!!
Application: It climbs wonderfully on pergolas, fences, walls, gazebos, trellises, and natural supports such as coniferous trees, deciduous trees, shrubs, and small bushes. It also grows excellently in large pots on balconies, terraces, and in small gardens.
Blooming: From May to June and again in August.
Exposure: Suitable for any orientation.
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 for the base using, for example, low‑growing shrubs, and before winter cover the base with bark up to a height of 10–20 cm. It grows best in fertile, humus‑rich, well‑draining, and airy soils that are rich in calcium (pH 6.0–7.0). Begin fertilizing in April and water intensively during the growing season.
Pruning: Since this variety blooms on last year’s shoots, prune at the turn of February and March by removing dead and diseased shoots, and lightly trim the healthy ones – in the first year after planting, cut about 30 cm above the strong buds; in the second year, about 70 cm; and in subsequent years, about 150 cm above the ground.
