Description
'Clematis Rouge Cardinal' is a large-flowered clematis with dark red to deep purple-red flowers. These flowers appear around May-June. The plant itself can grow up to 3.5 m high and has fairly light green leaves. The clematis is winter hardy, but deciduous. Pruning this plant is not necessary, but can be done if it becomes too large, for example. Because this large-flowered clematis blooms quite early, it is advisable to prune after flowering. To allow the clematis to climb better, it needs a little help. It is best to guide the plant upwards along a rack, wire or stick. The clematis does very well in both partial shade and in the sun.
