This alpine Clematis is very hardy and valuable with its early blooming.  It prefers in full sun to partial shade location.  Mature size:10′(H) X 5′(W).   USDA Zones:3-9.  This requires no maintenance as it is in the wild but if prune away the weak branches tips and seed heads (if not collecting seeds) in summer will promote more flowers in next spring!

這種高山鐵線蓮非常的強健其價值在於它是春天早開的鐵線蓮.  喜全日照到半日照的環境.    成熟株高為3公尺高,1.5公尺寬幅.  非常耐寒.  如野生時一樣是不需要維護的可是如能於夏季時修剪掉較弱的枝條和花球(若不收種子的話)可以將明春的花量提高.  適合涼棚或籬笆上和其它不同花期的鐵線蓮一起運用.
