Never failing to impress, these brilliant, velvety crimson blooms grow on a woody vine with leathery-textured, green foliage. Rouge Cardinal Clematis is a compact vine, making it an excellent choice for containers and small spaces. It’s also great for covering a fence, trellis, or arbor, and it also works well climbing through tall shrubs, or unsupported as a groundcover. This is an easy-care plant and a vigorous grower.
