Clematis ‘Westerplatte’ is a show-stopping perennial climber with deciduous mid-green leaves and exquisite, large, deep maroon-red flowers. It will begin to bloom until early summer through until autumn, and sometimes with a second flush of flowers in late summer. The plant is deciduous and so will lose its leaves over the winter months and can be pruned back in early spring ready for fresh new foliage and flowers. Growing to an ultimate height of 1.5-2.5m and an ultimate spread of 0.5-1m, Clematis ‘Westerplatte’ is perfect for walls, trellises and pergolas. It also looks marvellous combined with another climber, and the deep red flowers with just a flash of purple are sure to give your garden a spectacular flower show.
