Why Choose Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' for Your Garden?
Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' is a long-time favourite for a reason — vibrant raspberry-red blooms, a reliable flowering habit, and a strong but manageable growth rate make it an excellent choice for gardeners who want bold, late-summer colour.
Its richly coloured, velvety petals contrast beautifully against fresh green leaves and glow in softer light, making this variety a perfect choice for adding drama and warmth to your garden.
This repeat-flowering clematis is perfect for:
Growing up trellises, fences or pergolas for late-season colour
Pairing with pale or silver-leaved plants for contrast
Adding a bold splash of colour to smaller gardens or containers
Mixing with climbing roses for a layered, romantic look

Growing Tips
Planting Location
Plant in full sun to partial shade. 'Ville de Lyon' colours best in partial shade or filtered sun, where the rich tones won’t bleach.
Soil
Thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Keep the roots cool by applying mulch or planting low-growing companion plants at the base.
Pruning
Falls under Pruning Group 3 — cut back hard in late winter or early spring to around 30cm above the ground to encourage strong, fresh flowering stems.
Support
Provide a trellis, arch, fence, or obelisk. Like all clematis, it climbs by twisting leaf stems and benefits from soft ties for guidance during early growth.
