Clematis Perida, obtained in Germany by Willem Straver in 2002, remains to this day one of the best clematis with large red flowers. Firstly for the power of its colour, then for its ease of cultivation and finally for its small size, perfect for pot cultivation and gardens of all sizes. This small climber has lots of medium-sized flowers in summer, ranging from pure crimson red when opening, to magenta. It will flower better in bright exposure, but not direct sunlight.
Clematis belong to the Ranunculaceae family. They are found in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia and North and Central America. The 'Perida' clematis is a perennial, semi-woody, climbing plant, which will reach about 2m (7ft) high, with a spread of 1m (3ft). This clematis has open flowers, measuring 8 to 12cm (3 to 5in) in diameter, which appear on the current year's shoots from June to the end of August, in successive waves. The flowers are solitary with 6 wide, slightly wavy, crimson red tepals, which slightly overlap. The centre of the flower is adorned with a beautiful crown of stamens tinted red with a cream base and purple anthers. The colour of the flowers changes to a dark magenta pink. The flowers are followed by decorative feathery silver-grey seed heads that persist until winter. The smooth leaves are divided into 3 elliptical to lanceolate, dark green leaflets. This clematis clings firmly to the support or host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils. Its deciduous foliage is absent in winter.
Plant clematis near your climbing or rambling roses ('New Dawn', 'Mme Caroline Testout', 'Zéphirine Drouhin'), to extend the flowering of your walls and pergolas until the end of summer. It is a genus rich in diversity, with flowers of all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Perida' will pair well with the blue flowers of Hudson River clematis, the violet flowers of Romantika, or the white flowers of 'Superba' or 'Miss Bateman', to climb a fence or cover a wall exposed to the morning sun.
Tips: Avoid excessive fertiliser that stimulates foliage at the expense of flowers. Do not mulch, to avoid excessive moisture.

Botanical data
Clematis 'Perida' will appreciate a bright location with light shade: avoid southern exposure. Plant it in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil, shading the roots and the base of the stem (with a flat tile, for example). Clematis can wilt in soil that is too wet. Plant it, with the root ball at an angle, covering it with 3 cm (1in) of soil, in well-worked soil, lightened with good compost and coarse sand. After planting, prune the clematis stems to about 30 cm (12in) above a healthy pair of buds. Water regularly during the first few weeks, but be careful not to let the water stagnate as this can cause fungus to develop at the neck. Mulch all clematis plants in February with garden compost or well-rotted manure, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Tie in the stems, without crushing them, until the plant can cling for itself. Clematis plants also like to grow freely on neighbouring plants. After a few years, cover the base of your climbing clematis with a small mound of soil, to reduce the risk of clematis wilt while promoting the growth of vigorous new shoots from the crown. Voles and slugs can attack clematis plants and devour the stems. Aphids and greenhouse whiteflies are also potential pests.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
