    Semi-double, deep purplish-red, bell-shaped flowers, followed by fluffy seedheads in summer and mid-green leaves. This alpine clematis is a particularly free-flowering variety. An attractive choice for covering a north- or east-facing wall, it occasionally produces a second, smaller flush of flowers in summer.

  • Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
  • Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
