Description

(Clematis) Bourbon™ Clematis is an exciting compact clematis from Raymond J. Evison. Evison specifically hybridized this prized variety for patio containers. The compact growth reaches only 3-4 feet tall, which makes it a perfect fit for large patio pots. Bourbon™ is equally happy though when grown in the ground and allowed to scramble up a small trellis. Whether in a patio container or in your landscape or garden, Bourbon™ Clematis likes to be planted in full sun to part shade areas in the garden. They should get at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. However, keep the roots shaded with mulch or by planting groundcover plants surrounding them. Also be sure you have something for the clematis to climb up on, as they provide lots of vertical color. The large 6 inch flowers are magenta-red with bright purple bars in the center of each petal. Its flowers rebloom throughout the summer for an incredible display, and they’ll attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. No need to worry about deer, clematis are deer resistant. This clematis is part of prune Group 2, which means you’ll want to give them a light prune in early spring and remove any dead or weak stems. Please note: flower color may vary due to the environment.

Reviews

Really excited to see this one grow! I planted in the dappled sun/shade and can't wait to see it bloom this summer! The plants arrived healthy and they were packaged well. This is my first time buying plants online and I was very happy. I can't find plants like this in Austin, Texas. Great selection!

Very Pretty Flowers

I have this in a pot on a small trellis with a hydrangea. It has taken a few years to really get going. It is perfect for a container planting and does produce very pretty flowers off and on in the spring and summer.

Beautiful

THIS PLANT IS BEAUTIFUL!! I purchased this clematis last year and was pleased to have a few flowers but I am blown away with what I have this year!! I am in zone 5 and spring came early for us this year. This plant absolutely flourished and is covered in the most gorgeous flowers. They are very large and the color is spectacular. I could not be more pleased with this plant. I strongly recommend this plant... it is absolutely amazing!!! You will not be disappointed.

Breathtaking

Wow! This plant is amazing! Last year I purchased this Clematis from Garden Crossings because the flower was so colorful in the photograph. I planted it in a large clay pot with a trellis. It didn't do much but climb up the trellis; no blooming. This isn't uncommon for a newly transplanted perennial. I am in Zone 7b, so I left it in the container outside on my deck. It has emerged and is absolutely covered with the most breathtaking (and huge) blossoms! The color is phenomenal and the healthy foliage is the icing on the cake. Talk about a WOW factor plant AND rock hardy! If you are looking for an extremely vigorous, gorgeous plant, buy this one!
