An excellent variety with a moderate growth rate. Large, crimson velvet flowers with beige anthers are borne in great profusion over a long period of time: in May-June, and again in July August. Suitable for growing over fences, walls, arbors, pergolas, trellises and poles. It can clamber over natural supports e.g. small trees or large, bushy deciduous shrubs.
A superb clematis for growing in containers on terraces and balconies.
Especially effective when grown against a light background.Raised by A. Girault, France.
Introduced in 1968.
