Kardynal Wyszynski is a Polish variety of clematis with large flowers from June until September. Its crimson purple flowers have 6 petals and centres decorated with burgundy red stamens. It received a golden medal at Plantarium 1990.

It belongs to Group 3 clematis, flowering in mid- and late summer. Flowers appear on new growths. Cut back all the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, 15-20 cm above soil level, before growth begins in early spring.

Clematis likes deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil that remains cool. You can grow a plant below clematis that will provide shade for its roots. Add garden compost in late winter and mulch it well. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
