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.

This is the second year for this plant. Last year it had one bloom. This year it is blooming it's head off! It is going up a small pear tree and faces southwest. Looks really good with Durande, a small blue clematis.

I have 2 in a small east-facing bed between my front walkway and garage- there are several other clematis varieties as well as shade for the roots provided by some hostas. I have only had them for slightly over a year now and they are doing great- their growth is wonderful, and they are flowering beyond expectation- I believe the first bloom was about a week and a half ago now I have dozens. Last year, LATE into the year (Thanksgiving I think), there was one flower perfectly holding on for dear life. It was amazing.

I'm in northeast Oklahoma, and have Miss Bateman in two containers... one by my mailbox in full sun, which can be scorching in Oklahoma, and the other in a half whiskey barrel on the east side of my house. She is doing great in both locations, and I find her to be an easy and simply beautiful clematis. A definite favorite!
