A spectacular double-flowered climber with lily-like layers of lilac-pink and rose tones, flowering from late spring through summer.

Clematis ‘Josephine’ (Evijohill) is known for its dramatic, lush double blooms that resemble dahlias: broad outer sepals of creamy-green turning lilac-pink, with deeper rose-pink central stripes, and many smaller inner petals forming a rosette. It flowers first in late spring and then again through summer into early autumn. The foliage is neat and trifoliate, growing up to 1.5–2.5 m tall with a spread of about 1–1.5 m, making it suitable for trellises, pergolas, or large containers in gardens where colour and texture can shine.

Key features:

• Large double flowers (~12-15 cm) with lilac-pink outer sepals and deeper rose-pink centre striping, plus a rosette of inner petals

• Blooms on both old and new wood (pruning group 2) with a main flush in late spring and repeat flowering in summer-autumn

• Deciduous with trifoliate foliage, clean and attractive

• Vigorous climber reaching ~1.5-2.5 m height, ~1-1.5 m spread

• Best colour and fullness in full sun with well-drained fertile soil; roots shaded and moist

Perfect for:

• Trellises, pergolas, or walls for spectacular vertical displays

• Containers or large patio pots to show off its double blooms

• Adding romantic contrast in mixed borders with softer pastels or dark foliage

• Gardeners wanting repeat flowering over many months

• Cottage, romantic or traditional garden styles
