This sweet Kivistik clematis, blooms slightly later in June/July, August it has unusual re-curved tepals in a deep purplish-red large & heavily flowering, compact growing Clematis. Another top performer very year!

As with all of the fine Kivistik  bred clematis selections, this clematis blooms annually, developing flowers on the current seasons growth, easy prune, and  bred specially to withstand the cold climates of Estonia.  Clematis Rahvarinne’s  abundance of blooms and hardiness makes it another Kivistik winner!

Care:  Plant in sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained alkaline soil. Dig a hole 12 cm deeper than the root ball, then plant with enriched soil, ensuring the top of the root ball is slightly higher than ground level. Back fill with enriched soil.

Regular deep watering is important to ensure the root ball does not dry out. Fertilize consistently with a well balanced general fertilizer beginning in April at start of growth. To keep roots cool, use mulch to reduce the soil temperature. A once-a-year application of lime will do the trick.

This Kivistik’s clematis has repeat blooming, so prune old flowers after finished, and you will enjoy more blooms.
