Clematis for Small Spaces
Clematis have long enjoyed popularity in gardens large enough to accommodate them — and now, with the arrival of a new generation of cultivars that excel in mixed borders, containers, and other small spaces, there is more reason than ever to grow them. As well as being modest in height, many of these new clematis are extremely floriferous and self-supporting, thus ensuring their value in a wide range of garden situations. Evison recommends the best clematis for compact spaces such as indoor and outdoor containers, mixed borders, deck gardens, hanging baskets, and balconies, and goes on to provide detailed plant descriptions organized by flowering season. This long-awaited book celebrates a new generation of clematis and will appeal to both established enthusiasts and beginners.
Media reviews of this book:
"Raymond Evison is the King of Clematis. ... Full of helpful advice and planting combinations, the book is a must for any enthusiast."
—Independent (London), September 7, 2008
"A sumptuously illustrated, deeply informed book that features shorter-growing, disease-resistant and long-flowering clematises ideal for borders, patios, decks, hanging baskets and even indoor containers."
—Bill Scheick, Dallas Morning News, August 8, 2008
"A clear and easy-to-understand review of the genus, especially useful to garden designers, landscapers and garden centre plant buyers. It is also a valuable reference work for anyone needing help to choose a clematis for a specific situation or time of year."
—John Hoyland, BBC Gardens, February 2008
"An easy-to-read reference that is a must for beginners to the most experienced gardeners who want to use these beauties in their gardens."
—Nancy Szerlag, Detroit News, January 28, 2008
"Evison selects varieties [of clematis] based on their flowering season and finds a host plant or a support that would benefit from free-flowering clematis. After ogling the color pictures of hundreds of varieties in this book, it's hard to think of one that won't."
—Adrian Higgins, Washington Post, December 6, 2007
