Clematis ‘Diamantina’ (Evipo039) is one of the most celebrated introductions from the Raymond Evison breeding programme, designed to deliver maximum elegance in a manageable form. This variety stands out for its extraordinary double flowers, which are composed of multiple layers of sharply pointed petals arranged in a perfectly structured, architectural form. The result is a bloom that resembles a living jewel—rich, complex, and impossibly refined.
The colour palette of ‘Diamantina’ is particularly captivating. When the flowers first open, they appear in deep violet-blue tones, cool and regal in character. As the blooms mature, subtle shifts occur, revealing hints of mauve and soft purple that add depth and movement to the display. This gentle colour evolution gives the plant a dynamic presence, ensuring it remains visually engaging over an extended period.
Clematis ‘Diamantina’ typically reaches a mature height of approximately 1.2–1.5 metres, with a spread of around 60–80cm. Its compact size makes it particularly well suited to pots, containers, obelisks, and smaller garden structures. The flowers are large and densely packed, creating strong visual impact despite the plant’s modest proportions. This balanced habit allows ‘Diamantina’ to add vertical interest without overwhelming neighbouring plants, making it ideal for patios, courtyards, and contemporary garden layouts where space is limited but elegance is essential.
