Clematis 'Rouge Cardinal' is a striking large-flowered clematis, supplied as three plants in 15 cm pots with a height of approximately 65 cm. This clematis produces dark red to deep purple-red flowers that bloom abundantly around May to June, making it a stunning focal point in any garden.

The plant itself can grow up to 3.5 metres high and features light green foliage, providing a lovely contrast to its vibrant flowers. Clematis Rouge Cardinal is hardy but deciduous, meaning it loses its leaves in winter. While pruning is not strictly necessary, it can be done if the plant becomes too large. Since this is an early-flowering clematis, it is best pruned after flowering to encourage healthy growth without affecting the blooms.

To help the clematis climb effectively, it is advisable to guide the shoots along a rack, wire, or stick, as it does not attach itself automatically. This plant thrives in both sun and semi-shade, making it adaptable to various garden conditions.

Note: Clematis plants are mildly toxic if ingested, so keep them away from children and pets.

With its dramatic flowers, vigorous growth, and easy adaptability, Clematis Rouge Cardinal is ideal for trellises, fences, pergolas, or any vertical garden space where a splash of rich color is desired.
