Editor's Note
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.

It bloomed so little last year that I could not remember which clematis it was. It has bloomed for weeks this year. I love the color and size of the flowers! | | Positive | kdestiny | On May 9, 2006, kdestiny from Shickshinny, PA wrote: I have an "Elsa Spath" clematis which I had outside last season and brought in for the winter. I love it! I had blooms throughout the winter and since I put it back out side two weeks ago it has grown almost 4 feet! It seems tolerant of drought as well. It gets beautiful 2-3" purple blooms and will flower many times during the growing season. | | Neutral | mystic | On Jan 3, 2005, mystic from Ewing, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: Awarded RHS Award of Garden Merit. | | Positive | Petsitterbarb | On Jun 5, 2003, Petsitterbarb from Claremore, OK wrote: I've found this plant to be perfectly lovely! I love the softer color of purple, and I even have one that blooms in mostly shade conditions, although it's new this year. I guess "time will tell" as to future years!
I adore clematis in general, and have LOTS of 'em! The neighbors love it, too! | | Positive | sunyluvsma | On Jun 4, 2003, sunyluvsma wrote: Lovely vine. big purple flowers. plant in full sun. | | Negative | Nookie | On May 24, 2003, Nookie wrote: I have tried to grow the clematis for 5 years, and have no success. I've tried different areas in my yard, and no success. My soil is black with quite a bit of clay, and acidic. Is this my problem? Please someone answer, as I would love to grow one. The last one I tried lasted 2 years, and bloomed beautifully, but last winter our frost line went down 97 inches. So I suppose that could be a factor too. I live in the U.P. of Michigan, and it's very cold here in winter. |
