A Rich and Velvety Masterpiece of Deep Garnet Red
The Clematis 'Westerplatte' is a show-stopping Polish variety, world-renowned for having some of the richest red flowers in the Clematis family. True to the graceful spirit of 'Minuet', it produces a prolific display of stunning blooms that seem to glow against the foliage. The flowers are exceptionally elegant, featuring large, velvety petals in a deep garnet-red hue, accented by contrasting yellow anthers that act like tiny beacons in the centre of each bloom.
A vigorous and reliable performer, 'Westerplatte' is particularly prized for its compact habit. While it climbs beautifully up trellises, arches, and obelisks, it is exceptionally suitable for smaller gardens or for growing in large patio containers. Flowering generously from early summer through to late summer, it provides a dramatic splash of intense colour. Its rich, dark red petals have a luxurious silken texture that looks magnificent when planted against a light-coloured wall or combined with silver-foliaged plants.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Westerplatte' for its sheer opulence. Most red Clematis can lean towards pink, but this variety stays true to its deep, dark red roots. From a distance, it looks like a collection of velvet jewels draped over the vine, but up close, the intricate texture of the petals and the bright yellow centres are simply exquisite, making it an absolute joy to admire.
