Raymond Evison Clematis 'Ooh La La'
- Only got a small garden? Don't worry, this compact crackerjack of a clematis (growing to just over one metre in height) will elevate your space without leaving much of a footprint.
- Its magenta blooms are truly beautiful to behold, with darker pink petal stripes lending the flowers an attractive two-tone appearance. Held aloft a canvas of lush foliage, the blooms really stand out.
- Bushy and vigorous despite its relatively diminutive stature, you'll be happy to hear that the flowers of 'Ooh La La' will wreath the entire plant from top to bottom. No miserly flower distribution here!
- Give your plant the limelight it deserves by starring it on your patio or featuring it at the forefront of one of your beds. Use an obelisk or trellis and watch as heads start to turn...
- 'Evipo041'
- Bred by the iconic Raymond Evison at his Guernsey nursery.
- Please note: our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out.
