Clematis texensis ‘Gravetye Beauty’ (Texensis Group) is a small-flowered climber boasting masses of distinctive, ruby red, tulip-shaped flowers, 2-3 in. wide (5-7 cm), which open flat to reveal a luscious crimson interior. Blooming profusely from mid-summer to early fall, this scarlet clematis has a handsome foliage of blue-green leaves divided into 3-5 heart-shaped leaflets. Vigorous and floriferous, Gravetye Beauty Clematis looks great when combined with large rambling, climbing, or shrub roses and makes a great ground cover.
As climbers, Clematis are unsurpassed in their long flowering presence, their rich diversity of flower shapes, their wide array of colors, and their tolerances in terms of exposure and climate. It is no wonder they are so popular! From tree huggers to container varieties, there is a Clematis for every garden and flowers for almost every month of the year! Members of the Ranunculaceae family, they include more than 300 species and hundreds of hybrids. They create year after year a ravishing colorful show in the garden whether solely trained on walls, arbors, or trellises, or grown in association with other climbers. They are divided into 3 groups which determine how they should be pruned. Regular pruning of Clematis is important as it promotes strong growth and flowering as well as a harmonious plant. If left unpruned, Clematis can turn into a mass of tangled stems with a bare base and flowers well above eye level.
