Ruutel' has six inch dark magenta red flowers with a dark red sepal and near black anthers. Said to be one of the very best pure red clematis and flowers from June through September. Originating in Estonia the Kivistik clematis have a compact growth habit, copious blooms on the current season's growth, an unusually long bloom period, rich colours, great disease resistance, and hardiness to zone 3. Their compact size and long bloom time make them excellent in containers or in the garden.
