Clematis Sunset is a remarkable large-flowered climber, celebrated for its vivid colour, repeat-flowering habit, and compact yet vigorous growth. As part of the elite collection of award-winning Clematis varieties, Sunset is prized for its ability to deliver high-impact blooms that transform patios, garden walls, fences, and trellises into breathtaking displays of colour.
The flowers of Clematis Sunset are instantly captivating. Each bloom features rich velvet cerise-red petals with a slightly darker central bar that draws the eye toward a crown of contrasting golden-yellow anthers. This combination of hues creates a luminous, almost glowing effect, reminiscent of the sky at dusk. The flowers are large, often reaching 15–17cm in diameter, and are formed from thick, satiny petals that hold their shape and colour even in bright sunlight. The intricate detail of the central anthers adds a sense of depth and elegance, making each blossom a miniature work of art.
Clematis Sunset grows to a height of 2–3 metres with a spread of 1–1.5 metres, making it perfect for trellises, obelisks, patio containers, or garden walls. Each bloom measures 15–17cm across, with satiny cerise-red petals featuring a darker central bar and a striking golden-yellow crown of anthers. This large-flowered variety provides a compact but vigorous vertical display, ensuring high visual impact without dominating neighbouring plants. Flowering occurs in early summer with a repeat flush in late summer, providing prolonged colour and interest. Its manageable habit and consistent performance make it ideal for smaller gardens, patios, and containers, where the intricate details of each flower can be appreciated closely.
