A Serene Cascade of Silvery Lavender Blooms
Clematis 'Bernadine' is a masterclass in understated elegance, part of the world-renowned Raymond Evison collection. This exquisite variety is adored for its large, single flowers that glow in a delicate shade of pale lavender-blue, often appearing to have a shimmering silvery sheen in the sunlight. Each bloom is perfectly balanced by a central cluster of creamy-yellow anthers, creating a soft, cooling aesthetic that brings a sense of tranquillity to your garden from early summer through to late autumn.
Specifically bred for its compact and exceptionally free-flowering habit, 'Bernadine' is the ideal choice for gardeners who want high-end floral drama in a limited space. The petals feature a soft, silken texture and slightly wavy edges, adding a layer of sophisticated detail to its vertical display. Whether it is illuminating a shaded doorway or acting as a focal point on a sun-drenched terrace, this hardy perennial offers a polished, professional look that remains beautiful season after season.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
We are absolutely enchanted by the "dreamy" quality of 'Bernadine.' The colour is so soft and refined; it reminds us of a clear summer twilight. We love how it stays so compact and tidy, making it our top recommendation for anyone looking to dress up a pair of pots on either side of a front door. It is like "jewellery for the patio"—subtle, sophisticated, and incredibly beautiful.
