Clematis 'Voluceau' is a dramatic red-flowering climbing plant, perfect for bringing late-season colour to partially shaded spots. With its deep red blooms and contrasting yellow stamens, this compact climber adds bold structure and elegance from late summer into autumn.


Key Features

  • Rich, dark red flowers with bright yellow stamens
  • Flowers in late summer and autumn, when many other plants are fading
  • Compact climber, ideal for trellises, fences, or container supports
  • Thrives in partial or even full shade, great for shadier gardens
  • Hardy throughout the UK (H6) – tolerant of cold and exposed sites
  • Dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the bold blooms

Product Description

Clematis 'Voluceau' is a beautiful deciduous climber prized for its deep red flowers with a velvety texture, each highlighted by a cluster of vibrant yellow stamens at the centre. Blooming in late summer and autumn, it provides a welcome burst of colour when many other plants are past their peak.

Reaching a mature height of up to 2.5 metres, this clematis is compact enough for smaller gardens, patios, or balconies, and is especially valuable for shaded spots, where its richly coloured blooms truly stand out. Its dark green foliage offers year-round coverage until leaf fall and pairs beautifully with the jewel-toned flowers.

Clematis 'Voluceau' is easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil and adapts to a range of conditions. Fully hardy across the UK, it is a low-maintenance climber that delivers reliable late-season impact with very little effort.
