Everyone knows Clematis ‘Jackmanii’ with its huge purple-blue flowers..for many, it doesn’t seem like spring without its stunning bloom. If you love ‘Jackmanii’ then you will fall head over heels for this improved version. ‘Superba’ represents its name well by being more vigorous and producing even larger, richer, deep purple-blue flowers. The petals are broader than ‘Jackmanii’ and create a nearly square flower. These deep purple beauties cover the vine from late June until early autumn making a great decoration for trellises, fences, or tumbling along a rock wall. This vigorous vine will quickly cover its support and should be cut down to a few inches above the soil line each spring since it produces all of its flowers on the new growth each spring. Make sure you mulch around its roots to them cool and happy and use a strong trellis or fence for support for best performance. Class 3.

An exceptional and attractive free flowering plant which is great for the smaller garden due to its compact habit. A superb plant for growing in a shaded area such as a north-facing wall or in a container in a shaded outdoor eating area, patio or deck. Try planting this summer bloomer to climb up spring or fall-blooming shrubs.

This sweet looking Clematis will be as pleasing to look at as any candy might be to eat! Its strong, twining vine is vigorous but contained, allowing it to be easily used on a support in almost any garden and its bloom is breathtaking with big, star-shaped flowers of light pink accented by darker bands of deep mauve along the midrib of the petals and a frilly gold center that completes a luscious package. Plant propagation prohibited.

Raymond Evison’s Shimmer™ is a distinctive variety which features slightly rippled, deep lilac blue, each petal painted with a pastel purple central streak. As the flowers mature, they slowly fade to pale blue. The first flowers open in June and they continue coming until September.

Launched at the 2014 Chelsea Flower Show and named after Lady Southgate, the wife of Sir Colin Southgate, a former Chairman of EMI, the famous record-label company. An extremely strong-growing and very free-flowering plant that can be used as a garden location plant or for growing in a container for the deck garden, patio or outdoor dining area. Normally pink-flowered clematis fade in strong sunlight but Sally holds its colour and is in fact a deeper colour when grown in strong sunshine. An excellent plant for growing with roses due to its multi-flowering habit.

Reminiscent of the reflection of the full moon across a lake the lilac-blue flowers are semi-double that ages to a pale silvery lavender with purple-red center. Clematis Reflections has pretty semi-double lilac-blue flowers maturing to pale lilac-blue with purple-red anthers. Early summer flowers are 6″ in diameter and become smaller as the season progresses. Ideal for growing on walls, pergolas etc. and outstanding with deep coloured roses. Launched at Hampton Court Show 2010, part of Raymond Evison’s Patio and Garden Clematis Collection. Class 3.

At last, a red flowering Clematis! Raymond Evison has brought us stunning Rebecca™, producing huge, crimson red flowers from mid-spring to early autumn. Tufts of creamy yellow stamens in the center of the impressive blooms add a striking contrast.

Large pale blue to deep blue flowers cover this climbing vine from May till September. Many gardeners prefer the flowers on the new growth and prune it down to 8-12″ as a class three clematis with a hard prune in early spring. Ramona is easy to grow and is a good garden performer. Fertilize throughout the growing season to support its large size and huge flowers. Plant this Clematis in a full to part sun exposure, and give it something to climb such as a trellis or shrub to show off its huge blooms!

Gone are the days of out-of-control Clematis overtaking your garage, arbors and trellisses. Picardy™ is a new, incredibly compact, very free-flowering introduction with deep purple blooms with burgundy brushed petals. As these are flowering in spring, it is already producing trailing stems which provide more flowers. Excellent for mixed containers and lush, perennial hanging baskets. Part of the Raymond Evison Boulevard® series of patio friendly Clematis.
