An Evison/Poulsen cultivar introduced at Chelsea in 2004 as part of the Bicentenary Plant Collection. A modern day Jackmanii type with some viticella blood in its veins, received the Wisley name because of Wisley’s proximity to Woking where clematis Jackmanii was raised way back in 1858. It has bluish flowers of the typical Jackmanii look but with the vigour and free flowering habit of a viticella cultivar. Semi-nodding violet-blue flowers. The four, sometimes five or six, sepals have crinkled edges and are about 4-5ins in diameter. It is the long, very free-flowering habit of this clematis that makes it stand out from other clematis, flowering almost from June to September.Yellow anthers. It is an ideal plant to grow with wall trained, free standing or climbing roses, it is outstanding for growing with yellow flowered plants or plants with variegated foliage. |
