Overview
Clematis 'Nubia' ('Evipo079') is a compact, repeat-flowering cultivar from Raymond Evison's renowned Boulevard® collection. It produces large, rich velvety red flowers with a contrasting dark centre, creating a striking display from early summer, followed by a second flush later in the season. Its naturally compact habit makes it particularly well suited to patios, balconies and smaller gardens. Growing to around 90–120cm, 'Nubia' is ideal for training over an obelisk, trellis or arch, and performs exceptionally well in decorative containers as well as garden borders.
Why We Love It
'Nubia' brings an exceptionally rich red flower colour to compact spaces without sacrificing performance. Its manageable size and repeat-flowering habit make it one of the finest clematis choices for patios, courtyards and smaller gardens.
