Mature plants typically reach 10 to 20 feet in length, spreading 3 to 6 feet wide as stems scramble and twine through trellises, fences, shrubs, or small trees. Slender, flexible stems emerge from a woody crown and produce pinnate leaves measuring 3 to 6 inches long, each composed of leaflets about 1 to 2½ inches long and ½ to 1½ inches wide. The nodding, bell-shaped to open flowers usually measure 2 to 3½ inches across, smaller than many large-flowered hybrids but produced in remarkable numbers over a long season. Individual petals (technically sepals) average 1½ to 2 inches long, forming elegant, slightly recurved blooms in shades of violet, purple, rose, red, or lavender. Flowering generally occurs from early summer into early fall, often lasting 8 to 12 weeks under favorable conditions. Following bloom, decorative silky seed heads develop, each plume extending roughly 1 to 2 inches long. The root system spreads moderately, occupying about 18 to 24 inches of soil depth, while new annual growth can extend several feet per season, especially in fertile, well-drained soil. When provided with support and regular pruning, Clematis viticella forms a light yet dense vertical display, combining substantial height with relatively fine-textured foliage and medium-sized blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floridaseeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45013183004725,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/0813\/5221\/files\/1_bbb9c2cb-3d4e-4d9c-95cf-6233d9ce36ec.jpg?v=1772044126","url":"https:\/\/floridaseeds.net\/products\/flame-azalea-20-seeds-rhododendron-calendulaceum-copy","provider":"R\u0026B Floridaseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
