It's easy to see why Clematis ' Rouge Cardinal' is one of the favourite varieties of red-flowered climbers. It bears single, large, velvety red flowers which have contrasting brown anthers & they gradually fade to a violet-rose tone. The blooms appear from July to September, making a great late summer show. This Clematis is relatively vigorous & it will do well in a sunny spot. This climber looks good on a wall, a trellis or growing against an obelisk.
