C. texensis 'Gravetye Beauty') The name Clematis 'Hoshi-no-Flamenco' (Minoru Hoshino) is a Japanese pun referring to the name of the hybridizer as well as suggesting a "flamenco in the stars". The seven-inch flowers are bright red with yellow anther tips. All of our Clematis are two year old plants that are suitable for immediate planting in your garden. Spring; late summer. 8 ft. Red flowers *Sun, Part Shade Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9*
Early flowering in the spring on the previous year's growth. If you hard prune, you eliminate most or all of the early blooms. Instead, groom this after flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. This encourages new growth for possible summer bloom.
