About Rouge Cardinal Clematis:

Clematis Rouge Cardinal is a vigorous variety of clematis producing a stunning show of deep crimson, almost purple flowers (hence the name) with deep cut midribs and pale cream anthers. They are quite a size too, the first flush reaching around 15cm in diameter. These are produced in profusion through summer and into autumn and are followed by lovely spindly seedheads.

'Rouge Cardinal' is quite a late flowering Clematis - so if you'd like to find something to compliment it with an earlier show of blooms why not look through our full range here.

Great for your garden:

'Rouge Cardinal' is a nice strong growing vigorous variety. This makes it perfect for covering large frames such as trellises, pergolas and archways. It looks really nice when grown through other climbers, especially roses although it looks great growing through a larger shrub (as a suggestion try it in Philadelphus Belle Etoile or Virginal).

Being a strong grower that likes partial shade it's a great choice for growing through a host tree. You can also let it ramble through a large shrub in the border.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.
