Rebecca Clematis is a compact deciduous climbing perennial vine with light green foliage that flowers in two waves. The huge velvet red flowers (or purple tones with shade) with creamy yellow anthers have their first bloom wave in late spring to summer. Deadhead to encourage the second wave in late summer to fall. Prefers full sun and moist well-drained soil. Needs support.
