Clematis ‘Empress’ (Evipo011) is supplied as a healthy, nursery-grown climbing plant in a premium 3-litre recyclable container, cultivated to professional horticultural standards. Each plant is propagated from carefully selected, true-to-type stock to ensure the characteristic lavish double blooms, central rosettes, and reliable repeat flowering that define this variety.
The plant is grown in a high-quality, peat-reduced compost, which balances moisture retention with excellent drainage to encourage robust root development. This growing medium ensures the plant establishes quickly after planting, whether in the garden or a decorative container. A slow-release fertiliser is blended into the compost, providing essential nutrients during early growth to support strong stems, lush foliage, and abundant flowering.
Clematis ‘Empress’ is a medium-sized climbing clematis, making it ideal for smaller gardens, patio containers, or vertical planting schemes. When fully mature, it typically reaches a height of approximately 2 to 3 metres, with a spread of around 1 to 1.2 metres. This allows it to cover trellises, arches, obelisks, or walls, delivering vertical drama and seasonal colour without overwhelming neighbouring plants.
The plant is supplied in a 3-litre nursery pot, measuring approximately 18 to 20 centimetres in diameter and around 18 centimetres in height. At the time of dispatch, it will be well rooted and ready to establish quickly once planted.
Its compact yet vigorous habit, combined with large, textured blooms, makes Clematis ‘Empress’ particularly suited for decorative patio containers, romantic cottage gardens, and elegant vertical garden designs.
