Clematis montana rubens Freda

Clematis montana Freda Details

Clematis montana Freda is a deciduous climber that carries flowers that open a deep red but soften to a rich pink as they mature. The flowers produce a light, sweet fragrance. As the flowers fade through spring, striking bronze foliage emerges which gradually changes to dark green. It will easily grow to 6 m but can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this plant is achieved when grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and can be grown in coastal environments. Clematis montana Freda is often grown on fences or over arches and is also great for covering a large area when used as a groundcover.
