A Vibrant and Velvety Red Climber
The Clematis 'Ernest Markham' is a showstopper of a climber, renowned for its vivid and intense colouring. In late summer, this vigorous plant becomes dressed in an abundance of large, rounded flowers in a striking shade of velvety petunia-red. The petals have a rich, textured appearance that catches the sunlight beautifully, contrasting with the bright golden anthers at the centre.
This variety is a strong grower and thrives best in a sunny position, which encourages the most generous display of blooms. Because of its vigorous nature and large size, it is excellent for covering larger structures like pergolas, fences, and walls, turning them into a wall of vibrant colour from mid-summer into autumn.
