Product Description

Clematis 'Hendersonii Rubra' is a stunning evergreen clematis known for its clusters of scented blush-white flowers, each around 5cm wide, with striking deep pink outer petals and delicate cream stamens. Flowering from early to mid spring, it provides welcome colour and fragrance just as the garden begins to awaken.

Its dark green, glossy, leathery leaves remain year-round, offering permanent coverage and visual interest even outside the flowering season. With a robust growth habit, reaching heights of 4–8 metres, Hendersonii Rubra is ideal for covering large structures, creating privacy screens, or softening walls and fences.

Best planted in full sun with well-drained soil and a sheltered aspect, this clematis thrives in warmer parts of the UK and performs reliably when protected from harsh winds or heavy frost.

We can arrange a delivery date that suits you. If access for large vehicles is difficult, please let us know in advance.
