Unveiling the Beauty of Clematis 'Rouge Cardinal':

• Description: Clematis 'Rouge Cardinal' is a deciduous vine renowned for its large, velvety crimson-red flowers, each measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter. These luxurious blooms are accented by contrasting creamy-yellow stamens, creating a captivating display against the backdrop of deep green foliage. 'Rouge Cardinal' blooms profusely from late spring to early autumn, adorning the garden with its regal presence and providing nectar for pollinators.
• Height: Typically grows to a height of 8 to 12 feet at maturity.
• Spread: Exhibits a sprawling habit, with a spread of 3 to 6 feet, making it suitable for covering large areas and adding vertical interest to the landscape.

Maintenance and Care:

• Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sun exposure for optimal growth and flowering. Plant Clematis 'Rouge Cardinal' in early spring or early autumn, positioning the root ball about 3 inches below the soil surface. Provide sturdy support such as a trellis, obelisk, or pergola for the vine to climb.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Water deeply at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Ensure that the mulch does not come into direct contact with the stem to prevent rot and pest infestations.
• Pruning: Prune Clematis 'Rouge Cardinal' lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged stems and encourage new growth. Prune back stems to just above a set of healthy buds. Avoid heavy pruning, as 'Rouge Cardinal' blooms on the previous year's growth.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or a fertilizer formulated for flowering vines in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application rates and frequency.
