Here I am offering RARE seeds from Clematis texensis Gravetye Beauty, also known as Scarlet Clematis, Texas Clematis, Leatherflower, Texas Leatherflower, and Pipe vine. Clematis Gravetye Beauty Vine grows 6 to 8 feet tall, and benefits from a sturdy structure to climb on, although I have seen them rambling over shrubs making a dull shrub beautiful. The dark red color and open tulip shape make it one of the best of its class. The three inch flowers of this texensis hybrid appears in Summer and lasts until Fall in most gardens. It is often grown low in a perennial border or onto a short hedge where you can look down into the flowers. This is a real hit with the birds, bees, and butterflies. It is a good idea to prune this one hard in the early Spring. USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 9
