Why Choose Clematis cirrhosa ‘Winter Parasol’ for Your Garden?
‘Winter Parasol’ is a standout winter-flowering clematis, perfect for bringing colour and interest when the rest of the garden is dormant. Its delicate, nodding bells appear between late autumn and early spring, offering brightness and charm during the darkest months. It’s ideal for:
Adding winter colour to walls, fences, trellises, and pergolas
Providing evergreen coverage year-round
Pairing with other winter-flowering plants like Daphne and winter honeysuckle
Growing in courtyards, sheltered gardens, and urban spaces
Creating seasonal interest when nothing else is flowering
The subtle, blushed flowers and evergreen foliage give ‘Winter Parasol’ a soft, elegant appearance, making it a favourite for winter-themed borders and sheltered outdoor seating areas.

Growing Tips
Best Position
Plant in full sun or light shade. A sheltered, south- or west-facing wall is ideal to protect the winter buds and encourage strong flowering.
Soil Preparation
Grow in moist, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter. Avoid waterlogged conditions and very acidic soils.
Support & Training
Provide a trellis, wires, obelisk, or shrub to climb through. The thin, wiry stems cling naturally but may need light tying in while establishing.
Pruning
Group 1 Clematis – little to no pruning required.
After flowering in early spring, simply trim back any dead, damaged, or overlong growth to keep it tidy.
Winter Care
Hardy in most UK gardens but appreciates shelter from harsh winds and prolonged frosts. Mulch the base in autumn to protect roots and conserve moisture.
