Description

This is the runaway favorite of the Montana or Anemone Clematis group, a separate species from the Large-Flowered group. Culture is about the same as the others, but as you can see, this is a much, much larger plant, and blooms earlier. Its also not hardy as far north as the others. But if you're in the right zone, and have a big fence or roof to cover, you cant beat it.

Montana Rubens is a type 1 Clematis. Clematis in this group are early season bloomers and flower from buds developed on the growth made the previous year. They should be pruned right after flowering to remove the dead foliage. Do not prune late in the season.
