Landscape Qualities

Wildfire Clematis is a multi-stemmed deciduous woody vine with a twining and trailing habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape | but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.

Ornamental Qualities

Wildfire Clematis features delicate violet star-shaped flowers with white eyes and scarlet stripes at the ends of the branches from early summer to early fall. It has light green deciduous foliage. The pointy compound leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color.

Planting and Growing

Wildfire Clematis will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 3 feet. As a climbing vine | it tends to be leggy near the base and should be underplanted with low-growing facer plants. It should be planted near a fence | trellis or other landscape structure where it can be trained to grow upwards on it | or allowed to trail off a retaining wall or slope. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This woody vine should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in both summer and winter to conserve soil moisture and protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
