I got this plant for free - it was in the "free to a good home" bin at my local nursery at the end of the season. Sad thing - brown and only a couple of sad little leaves. But I'm a sucker for a plant that needs love (must be the Charlie Brown in me) so I took it home and planted it. It is fantastic, as you can see by the photo I took.

Mine is much more purple than red, with a lavender center. The flowers are not large - about 2 inches from tip of petal to tip of petal. Once it starts blooming in June, it is a prolific bloomer! Needs very little care, just the occasional pruning. Mine is in a full-sun spot on the corner of my house, used to disquise a down-spout, so when it rains it gets quite wet. But it is happy. It is also a little star in my garden - I get lots of complements on it. I live in Zone 5A.

This clematis is growing very well for me here in zone 5a. In its 2nd year, it is more robust than any other 2nd year clematis I have had. It also has far more flowers than I would have expected. I am surprised to see it listed as "late flowering" because it's flowering here at the end of June, so I would have not called that late. I also would not call it large flowering. It is the smallest flower of any of my clematis except my paniculata.
