Clematis Franziska Maria Evipo008

Clematis ‘Franziska Maria’ (Evipo008) is a highly refined, award-winning cultivar celebrated for its extraordinary floral structure and vibrant violet-blue colouring. It is a repeat-flowering double Clematis, producing layers of petals that create a lush, pom-pom effect. Each flower is dense and multi-petalled, giving it an opulent appearance that distinguishes it from most single-flowered varieties. The petals are velvety in texture, reflecting sunlight to highlight the rich purple-blue hues, which remain vibrant even in bright, sunny conditions.

From the first flush in early summer to a second display in late summer, the plant maintains the full, double form of its flowers, offering weeks of garden luxury. Its compact and tidy growth habit makes it particularly suitable for smaller gardens or contained planting, such as obelisks, trellises, and large patio pots. Despite its refined appearance, it is remarkably hardy and easy to maintain, delivering both aesthetic impact and reliable performance year after year.

Clematis ‘Franziska Maria’ is a compact, vigorous climber that reaches 2–2.5m in height with a spread of approximately 1–1.2m, making it ideal for smaller gardens, patio containers, obelisks, and trellises. Each flower measures up to 12–15cm across, showcasing dense, fully double petals in a rich violet-blue hue with a soft, velvety texture. The compact habit ensures tidy growth while providing vertical impact, and the repeat-flowering nature extends the display from early summer into late summer. Its lush mid-green foliage provides an elegant backdrop to the blooms, enhancing contrast and colour saturation. Perfect for architectural floral displays, romantic cottage gardens, and contained spaces where high-impact colour and structure are desired.
