Product information

Are you looking to introduce a splash of vibrant, late-season colour to your garden structure or patio area? The Clematis ‘Ville de Lyon’ is a wonderful choice, celebrated for its striking red and pink flowers that truly shine during the latter part of the growing season.

This is a moderately vigorous, deciduous climber featuring twining stems and a naturally spreading habit, bringing vertical interest to fences, pergolas, or arches through July, August, September, and October. As a benefit to your local ecosystem, it provides essential nectar for bees and other pollinators when they need it most.

For the best display in your UK garden, site this beauty where it can receive full sun or light shade, ensuring it is planted in moderately fertile, moist, yet well-drained soil; remember to protect its roots from intense direct sun. This versatile plant works beautifully as a vertical accent or even grown successfully within patio containers, offering superb value as a reliable late-summer flowering climber.
