'Rouge Cardinal' Clematis

These flowers beautifully contrast with their shining golden centers, which looks tantalizing when they start blooming all over the vine. The foliage is a nice medium-to-dark green, providing an excellent contrasting backdrop for the flowers.

These flowers beautifully contrast with their shining golden centers, which looks tantalizing when they start blooming all over the vine. The foliage is a nice medium-to-dark green, providing an excellent contrasting backdrop for the flowers. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the scene, as they can bloom and rebloom (be sure to give it a mid-season trim) all the way into fall. The medium vine turns a bare wall or fence into an exciting focal point, or grow it up an arbor to add charm to your landscape. 

These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
