Clematis viticella, also known as Italian clematis, is a vigorous and hardy climbing clematis. Its flowers are usually medium-sized, in various shades of violet, blue, pink, or red and appear from July to September. Growers of this type of clematis are highly appreciated for their ability to grow quickly and for the abundance of flowers, making them ideal for covering fences, pergolas, or other garden structures. It is relatively easy to care for, preferring sun or partial shade exposure and well-drained soil. 

In the case of cultivation in drier soils, which tend to dry out quickly, the base is covered with a layer of shredded bark (or another type of mulch) to maintain soil moisture. 

Clematis generally prefer a growing space with good sun exposure. 

The Clematis viticella varieties are known for their very good resistance both to weather conditions and to human actions/gardener mistakes. They require minimal intervention - a light pruning after the flowering period can provide a boost for a much faster reflowering, usually in the same season.
