Captivating Warmth: The Radiant Clematis 'Sunset'

Invite the breathtaking hues of a summer evening into your garden with the spectacular Clematis 'Sunset'. This award-winning variety is a showstopper, producing large, satiny flowers in a rich shade of velvet cerise-red. Each petal features a slightly darker central bar that leads the eye toward a crown of contrasting golden-yellow anthers, creating a luminous "glowing" effect that mimics the sky at dusk. It is a plant that truly commands attention, bringing a vibrant burst of energy to any vertical space.

With a compact yet vigorous habit, 'Sunset' is perfect for those who want maximum impact in smaller gardens or patio spaces. The texture of the petals is wonderfully soft, almost like fine silk, and they hold their color remarkably well even in bright sunlight. Flowering first in early summer and then offering a delightful second flush in late summer, this hardy perennial ensures your garden remains a tapestry of warm, romantic color for the majority of the growing season.

Key features:

• Vibrant Colour Palette: Striking red-pink blooms that stand out against dark green foliage.

• Repeat Flowering: Enjoy a primary bloom in May-June and a second display in late summer.

• Large-Flowered Variety: Blooms can reach up to 15-17cm in diameter.

• Compact Growth: Reaches a height of 2-3m, making it manageable for smaller trellises or obelisks.

• RHS Award of Garden Merit: Recognised for its outstanding garden performance and reliability.

Perfect for:

• Cottage Gardens: Adding a punch of warm color to traditional romantic borders.

• Pots and Containers: Growing on a patio where the intricate details of the flowers can be admired up close.

• Fences and Walls: Turning a plain boundary into a vertical sea of red velvet.

• Mediterranean Gardens: Its warm tones pair beautifully with terracotta and sun-drenched stone.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
We are absolutely head-over-heels for the way 'Sunset' catches the light during the "golden hour." There is a specific moment in the late afternoon when these flowers seem to radiate their own light. It is one of the most reliable red Clematis varieties we’ve ever grown, and it never fails to spark conversation when guests see it in full bloom.
