Bridgewater™ Clematis

Compact, Long-Blooming Beauty

Looking for a charming yet compact vine that bursts with blue blooms all summer long? Meet Bridgewater™ Clematis (Clematis 'EviGsy155')! A delectable soft pink, star-shaped bloom, with complementary red anthers! A Raymond Evison hybrid, Bridgewater™ is redefining what Clematis can do in a small garden space!

This reblooming, long-flowering cultivar offers a generous flush of vivid violet-blue flowers from late spring to early fall. It’s not just beautiful, it's also a dwarf variety, perfect for containers, patios, and tight spaces where traditional Clematis vines would overwhelm.

With a neat, mounding habit reaching only about 3-4 feet tall and wide, Bridgewater™ is ideal for gardeners craving color without the maintenance of a massive climber. The 3-4 inch flowers are a cool-toned dream, rounded and overlapping petals with a striking central tuft of stamens. The foliage is deep green and lush, acting as a refined backdrop for those profuse blooms. Though small in stature, it delivers big on charm and elegance!
