Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers.
Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

Very hardy plant- I inherited three of these beautiful plants with the house we just purchased. They trained themselves on our lattice and are doing fantastic. I can't believe how many blooms it has and is showing no signs of stopping! Only negative I've seen is that the blooms droop a little during our hot afternoon sun, but perk up as it cools off.
A very vigorous grower. I have it in a 2' pot at the time, but will move to the garden soon. Last year it went thru two bloom periods; was still in full bloom when frosts hit. Pruned back in March and it's already well over 6'. Had a few late frosts will no damage

I have this clematis growing with a dark purple variety, and the contrast in colours is very pretty. I've had great success with my clematis, this is their second summer, and have been more lush each year. Can't wait for spring!!
