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.
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.

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.
