Vibrant Red Elegance for Every Corner

Clematis 'Bourbon' is a true showstopper, specifically bred by Raymond Evison to deliver high-impact colour on a compact and manageable frame. This exquisite variety produces large, vibrant flowers that boast a unique shade of deep red-purple, often accented by a slightly darker central bar on each petal. The velvety texture of the blooms catches the light beautifully, while the contrasting crown of creamy-yellow anthers at the centre provides a bright, luminous focal point that makes the rich magenta tones pop.

Despite its bold appearance, 'Bourbon' is remarkably versatile due to its neat and compact habit. It is a prolific bloomer, offering a spectacular display in early summer and often rewarding the gardener with a second flush of flowers in late summer. Its size makes it an elite choice for modern gardens where space is at a premium, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of a large-flowered Clematis without it overwhelming its neighbours. Whether climbing a small obelisk or framing a doorway, it brings a sophisticated, high-end feel to your outdoor sanctuary.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...

We are absolutely captivated by the richness of the red in 'Bourbon.' It is a colour that feels incredibly opulent and regal. We love how it looks when placed in a decorative pot near a seating area—the details of the ruffled petals are so beautiful when viewed up close. It’s our top recommendation for anyone who wants a "flower tower" effect on their patio; it is a hardworking, reliable variety that never fails to feel like a luxury.
