Blunt, recurving sepals. Profuse summer bloom. Simple to trifoliate medium green foliage darkens as the summer progresses. Synonymous with and sometimes sold as Red Cardinal.

Uses:
This clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamp post or other stationary structure. Provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens. Can also be planted to sprawl over and through large shrubs, over old tree stumps or simply as a ground cover in conjunction with other flowering perennials.
