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.

Also known as Midnight Showers. Mine tends to ramble versus climb, but it can be trained upwards.

Nike has been in our garden for four years now. It's one of the most robust clematis plants that we've had. The stems are more resilient than most others apart from the montanas; it blooms heavily and takes winters well.
