The four petaled smallish red flowers of the cultivar Clematis Viticella Madame Julia Correvon are borne in abundance in mid Summer till early Autumn.

This climber was raised in France in 1900, although it had become lost to cultivation the interesting and colourful plantsman Christopher Lloyd came to the rescue and rediscovered it some time in the 1950s. Pruning should be carried out in late February, simply cut all the stems back to nine inches above ground level just above a strong pair of buds.
