Guernsey Approved Clematis

The following varieties are suitable for the garden.  They are reliable, easy to grow and multi-blooming, usually over a long period.

The Guernsey Clematis Nursery has bred and introduced these varieties over a few years.  They have proved to be a good addition to any garden.

IsseyTM Evipo081(N)

Issey™ Evipo081(N) is one of the latest new clematis to be bred by Evison/Poulsen at Guernsey Clematis Nursery. 

It has bright red spring blooms with a yellow centre flowering off the old and new wood.  It has a compact habit and is exceptionally free-flowering. It has a good repeat flowering habit. Its main flowering period is late spring-early summer and it flowers again late summer-early autumn.

The late summer and early autumn flowers are smaller in size but are produced very freely giving a mass of flowers.

The red colour of the flowers is very intense and the sepals are offset by yellow anthers. Ideal for growing in a container in the garden.

Flowering late spring-early summer, and again late summer–early autumn
Zone 4-9
Height Approx. 100cm
Pruning Each winter to about 8 inches (20cm)

Planting Instructions

Clematis grown in containers are a beautiful way to add height to a patio or courtyard garden. Choose a container 18" (45cm) approx. diameter for a single clematis plant plus support. For larger containers consider planting two or more plants per container. When choosing a container, Terracotta or wood are the best materials.


Alternatively, choose a host plant and dig a hole about 18 inches (45cm) deep.

  1.  Bury the clematis root crown 2.5" (5cm) below soil surface.
  2. Loosen out the clematis roots prior to planting.
  3. Use loam based compost such as John Innes No. 3 or well-rotted garden compost.
  4. To aid drainage provide a layer of small stones or pea gravel at the bottom of the hole/container.
  5. Finally, plant low growing plants at the base of the clematis to provide shade for the roots.
