Clematis ‘Ruutel’
This is possibly the best of all red clematis. ‘Ruutel’ was raised in 1982 at the Kivistik nursery in Estonia. “But what is really arresting about C. ‘Ruutel’ is a flower that seems dramatically red through and through. It is not just that the sepals, of which there may be anywhere between four and eight, are deep, strong red. Other good clematis have as deep a red. But no other clematis has an eye that at first is even deeper red than the sepals. Even after the pollen is shed and the dark reddish-brown anthers lose their colour, the connectives are still red, so the impressive depth of colour remains through a long period of fading down”. This wonderful description was written by Brewster Rogerson in the magazine of Clematis International. C. ‘Ruutel’ is a compact grower making it a good variety for pot culture as well as a good subject for the garden. The vine, which grows 1.5-2 metres tall and 1 metre wide, is best cut back hard during winter.
