Clematis Elpis™, 3L
£25.00
notes
Being officially released at the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Raymond Evison’s Clematis Elpis™, (EviGsy154 PBR), is also shortlisted for the prestigious RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year. The stunning climber is notable for its unusually strong, verdant foliage, which is retained from March until October and the large, rounded, star shaped flowers, which boast a non-fading, deep, ruby red colour, against yellow anthers. The hardy perennial is relatively compact, so is ideal for container planting or the front of border, where it will flower freely from May until July, with another reliable flourish in September.

Insights
Elpis is a flower bearing, Greek goddess of hope, and this clematis has been named in association with two amazing charities, MUG (Male Uprising Guernsey), whose aim is to increase awareness of male cancers and to help those who are affected by prostate, bowel and testicular cancer on the island of Guernsey, and The Prostate Cancer Research charity.
