Clematis ‘Silver Moon’ is a rare and elegant variety that captivates with its luminous silvery-mauve flowers. Each bloom is large, often reaching up to 15cm across, with gently wavy petals that overlap to create a soft, satin-like appearance. The central creamy-yellow anthers contrast subtly against the pastel petals, giving each flower a refined and delicate charm. This ethereal quality is enhanced in soft light, especially during early morning or late evening, when the silvery tones seem to glow, adding an almost magical effect to patios, balconies, and garden corners.
Unlike many clematis that prefer full sun, ‘Silver Moon’ performs beautifully in partial shade, where its unique pastel colouring is preserved without fading. Its compact deciduous habit makes it a perfect choice for container gardening or small spaces, including urban courtyards, city gardens, and balcony displays. The plant flowers in two waves, beginning in early summer and often producing a second flush later in the season, providing prolonged colour and visual interest.
Clematis ‘Silver Moon’ typically reaches 2–3 metres in height when trained as a climber, with a spread of 0.5–1.5 metres, making it perfect for small gardens and patios. Its large, saucer-shaped flowers measure up to 15cm across, and the wavy, overlapping petals create a soft, satin-like texture. Flowering occurs in two waves: early summer and later in the season, providing extended visual interest. Its deciduous foliage is a fresh green, complementing the silvery-mauve blooms. Compact and versatile, it thrives in partial shade or full sun, making it suitable for walls, trellises, pergolas, and large containers. Ideal for patios, small courtyards, and balcony gardens, it is perfect for gardeners seeking ethereal pastel tones with long-lasting summer interest.
