Clematis Nubia (Evipo079) with its strong colour and wispy heart, is a compact variety from Raymond Evison, its restrained size making it ideal for container planting on a terrace or for a smaller courtyard garden. It is particularly prized because, while being free- and long-flowering, the petals retain their depth of colour in the full sun.

Insights
Clematis have their roots in the Far East. The first example, C. Viticella, arrived in Europe in the mid-16th century. Two centuries later, the Victorians bred numerous varieties and their popularity continues. The native climber is C. Vitalba, a familiar sight in autumn hedgerows, the fluffy seed heads explaining the traditional name: Old Man’s Beard.

Care
Clematis like full sun or partial shade and moist, but well-drained soil with their roots in the shade. For this, plant the crown 5-8cm (2-3in) beneath the soil, ideally shaded by other plants. Alternatively layer stones on the surface of the soil, which protects the roots from the sun and from drying out.
