Default Evergreen Clematis

o.uk...
Is there a variety of evergreen clematis which is dark pink/red in colour?


No they are all white or off white/green the nearest to red would be
cirrhosa Freckles or Landsdown Gem which are quite red on the inside of the
flower but a dirty parchment colour on the outside, the also all flower
either in winter or early in the year.

If you want evergreen and colourful flowers, grow other evergreens (not
Clematis) with good leaves that you like and put summer flowering clematis
up them.
