Clematis viticella 'Elvan' was raised in 1979 by English breeder Barry Fretwell; its parentage is unknown. Its roughly 5 cm, slightly nodding flowers come in purple-violet and show a broad, creamy-white central bar. Four slightly twisted tepals with recurved tips and yellow-green anthers give them a delicate look.
'Elvan' flowers from July to September and reaches about 300 cm in height. It suits trellises, obelisks and pergolas and combines well with climbing roses. It thrives in sun to partial shade on any aspect and appreciates a moist, well-drained soil.
'Elvan' is reliably winter-hardy (zone 5, down to about -28 °C). As a summer bloomer it flowers on the new growth: cut it back to about 25 cm in March, and it will shoot away strongly and flower abundantly.
