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.

I have mine on a trellis in full sun, a very vigorous, reliable clematis. Pruning for type 3 every year is necessary for best blooms & health. Oddly mine likes to shift it's blooms to the setting sun & I get the most blooms in indirect sunlight, (more blooms on the side of the trellis which doesn't receive full sunlight). A stunning performer regardless, with an incredible number of blooms.

Sometimes sold as "Madame Julie Correvon." It grows in a poor patch of ground with plenty of sun exposure and gets fuller every year, both with foliage and blooms.

This spectacular selection was almost lost to cultivation but was rediscovered some years after its original introduction. The 2.75" flowers are rich wine-red with yellow stamens. Very floriferous yet relatively compact growth compared to most viticellas which can be rather lanky at times.
