About 'Sunset' Clematis:

'Sunset' provides a fantastic shock of colour to the summer garden. The single flowers are huge, 15cm in diameter, and are a rich plum-pink streaked with deep crimson bars resembling an intense sunset. The central anthers are a pale creamy gold and are shown off beautifully against the shocking pink backdrop.

This wonderful display appears early summer and will return for another flush in the late summer.

If 'Sunset' isn't quite what you're looking for you can browse our full range of Clematis plants here.

Great for your garden:

'Sunset' is a nice compact variety meaning it is especially good in containers, making it suitable for even the smallest of gardens... or why not try training it along a balcony? It looks fantastic in the border either rambling over a host shrub or trained up an obelisk.

It's great for adding colour to a frame such as a pergola or archway and can look really special when coupled with other flowering climbers, especially roses.

It is such a good performer that the RHS have awarded it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.

Look out for:

As with all Clematis caterpillars, earwigs and aphids can cause problems. Remove by hand where possible, spray if infestations get really bad.

May have susceptibility to Clematis wilt. Avoid through annual mulching to achieve deep root cultivation. Cut out infected stems and destroy immediately, disinfect tools.

Slime flux can sometimes be a problem. Damaged stems can be infected by bacteria which causes a nasty smelling ooze from the affected area. Cut back to a healthy shoot, destroy infected material.

Trivia:

'Sunset' was bred by Arthur H Steffen in the USA in the 1990's. Interestingly, in the American Old West the wild white Clematis Clematis ligusticifolia was known as the pepper vine. The early travellers of the day took tips from the Spanish colonials and used the seeds and the leaves as a pepper substitute. However, as all parts of the part are generally regarded as poisonous it is probably safer to stick to the real thing!

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
