Clematis Parisienne

Clematis Parisienne (Evipo019) is a standout variety from the Raymond Evison collection, bred specifically for compact spaces and prolific flowering. Its exquisite pale lilac-blue sepals with delicate, wavy edges provide a soft, ethereal texture, while the heart of dark, red-tipped anthers adds depth and visual interest. This combination creates a luminous, jewel-like effect that elevates both patios and small garden spaces with vertical colour and elegance.

The variety produces a continuous display of blooms from early summer and again in late summer, ensuring a long-lasting floral impact. Its free-flowering habit allows flowers to emerge from the base of the plant upwards, creating an abundant and layered vertical display. The soft lilac hues pair beautifully with dark green foliage, light walls, or contrasting perennials, making it an adaptable choice for a range of planting schemes.

Clematis Parisienne grows to a compact height of 1.2–1.5 metres, with a spread of approximately 0.6–1 metre, making it ideal for small spaces, large patio containers, or balcony planting. Individual flowers measure around 6–8cm across, featuring softly wavy lilac-blue petals and a central cluster of dark, red-tipped anthers that create a delicate contrast. Its free-flowering habit allows blooms to appear from the base of the plant upward, ensuring a full, layered display that maximises vertical impact. The manageable size and compact growth habit make it perfect for training over small obelisks, trellises, and railings, while remaining suitable for low-maintenance planting schemes. Its durable foliage remains lush throughout the flowering season, complementing the blooms and enhancing the visual depth of small garden areas, terraces, or balcony arrangements.
