Raymond Evison™
Raymond Evison has spent over 50 years breeding clematis, and the results speak for themselves. His varieties consistently outperform standard clematis with longer bloom times, more compact habits, and exceptional disease resistance.
What Makes Raymond Evison Clematis Different
These aren't your grandmother's finicky clematis. Evison's breeding program in Guernsey, Channel Islands, focuses on creating plants that thrive in real garden conditions. Many varieties bloom from late spring through fall, and most stay compact enough for containers and small-space gardens.
Perfect for Containers
The Boulevard® and Garland® series were specifically bred for patio gardening. These compact growers reach just 3-4 feet tall, making them ideal for trellises in pots, mailbox plantings, or weaving through shrubs. No sprawling mess or aggressive takeover here.
Bred for Repeat Blooms
Most Raymond Evison clematis flower on both old and new wood, which means you get waves of blooms from late spring through early fall. Light pruning after the first flush encourages even more flowers.
Disease Resistance Built In
Clematis wilt ruins many gardeners' love affair with these vines. Evison's selections show strong resistance to this fungal disease, giving you reliable performance year after year.
