Description
Evison provides a fresh look at the genus by focusing on not just the large-flowered cultivars but also the less well known species and their varieties, which make equally rewarding plants for gardeners, specialists and collectors. He advises on habitat, cultivation, propagation, discusses their use in the garden, conservatory or as cut flowers.

Description
The sheer range of flower colour and patterning combined with a wide variety of flower shape from the large and flamboyant cultivars through to the delicate bell-shaped species means that there is a clematis for every situation and effect. Furthermore, if you choose your plants carefully it is possible to have a clematis in flower from spring through to autumn with flowers often followed by intricate fluffy seedheads. Specialists and collectors will delight in Raymond Evison's unique insight into clematis gained as a plant hunter, breeder and nurseryman while gardeners will gain much from his knowledgeable advice on cultivation and garden uses. A comprehensive plant directory divided into the distinct clematis groups provides detailed and authoritative descriptions of around 375 species and varieties.
