Clematis, Ernest Markham (red)

An outstanding red clematis with gold anthers add to the velvety, classic look. Long a favorite in the garden, a winner of the Royal Horticultural Societys Award of Garden Merit. A fast and vigorous climber, with vines flowering on current years growth. Prune in early spring before plant leafs out. Grow in a sunny spot where roots can be kept cool and shaded.
