• Recipient of the Silver Medal Plantarium 2011, Gold Medal at Green Is Life, Silver Medal at Flowers 2011, Moscow.
• Thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun to part shade. Ideally, Clematis prefer having their 'heads in the sun and their feet in the shade'. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base. 
• Hardy, this clematis can quickly grow up to 9-10 ft. long (270-300 cm) and 6-8 ft. wide (180-240 cm).
• This clematis belongs to the third group of Clematis – a group including Clematis which flower in late summer on growth made in that season. They should be pruned in late winter or early spring and require 'hard pruning': simply cut back the stems to a pair of strong buds about 1ft. (30 cm) above ground level before growth begins in early spring.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
