A Dainty and Distinctive Compact Lilac Climber

The Clematis 'Parisienne' (Evipo019) is a graceful and highly decorative variety from the world-renowned Raymond Evison collection, specifically bred for its exceptional flowering power and compact habit. True to the elegant spirit of 'Minuet', it produces masses of charming flowers that seem to dance against the garden backdrop. The blooms are truly captivating, featuring large, pale lilac-blue sepals with delicate wavy edges and a contrasting heart of dark, red-tipped anthers.

This compact and reliable performer is a true showstopper for modern gardens where space might be limited. While it climbs beautifully up smaller trellises and obelisks, its manageable habit makes it exceptionally suitable for growing in large patio containers or even window boxes. Flowering generously from early summer with a repeat flush in late summer, it provides a luminous splash of soft, jewel-toned colour that looks stunning against dark green foliage or a light-coloured wall.

Key features:

• Stunning Lilac-Blue Blooms: Features large, elegant flowers in a soft, ethereal violet hue.

• Compact & Manageable: One of the best varieties for small spaces, patios, and balconies.

• Free-Flowering Nature: Produces an incredible amount of flowers from the base of the plant upwards.

• Versatile Habit: Perfect for small trellises, obelisks, or trailing in large containers.

• Hard Pruning (Group 3): Very easy to maintain—simply cut back to 30cm in early spring.

Perfect for:

• Growing in large containers on a patio, balcony, or near a garden doorway.

• Training over small obelisks and trellises in sunny or partially shaded borders.

• Contemporary gardens and urban spaces where ground space is limited.

• Gardeners looking for a sophisticated, soft-toned variety with high-impact detail.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Parisienne' for its sheer elegance and "good manners." It doesn't overwhelm its neighbors, but its luminous lilac petals demand attention. From a distance, it gives a lovely pale violet haze to the garden, but up close, the intricate wavy edges of the petals and the dark red centres are simply exquisite, making it an absolute joy to examine.
