Clematis ELPIS™ is a compact, free-flowering vine that brings bold color and charm to small garden spaces. Its rounded, deep rich red blooms are accented by bright yellow anthers, creating a striking contrast that adds instant impact to trellises, patio containers, or tight garden borders.
Blooming profusely from May through July, ELPIS™ offers a delightful repeat flush in September, extending its vibrant display into early fall. With its compact height of 3 to 4 feet, this variety is perfect for small gardens, balconies, or growing up an obelisk in a decorative pot.
Hardy in Zones 4–9, it performs best in sun to part shade. Plant in rich, well-drained soil, and keep the roots cool and shaded for optimal growth. As part of Pruning Group 3, ELPIS™ should be trimmed back to about 6 inches in fall or early spring to encourage strong regrowth and blooming.
Whether you’re looking to brighten up a small garden or create a dramatic container display, Clematis ELPIS™ delivers exceptional color, form, and ease of care in a space-saving size
