Evipo 019 Purple Clematis

Parisienne, the trade name for clematis breeding denomination ‘Evipo019’, is a climbing Clematis viticella selection with single, upward-facing blue-violet flowers. Its six to eight overlapping sepals have a violet central bar on the upper surface and a white bar beneath, and the official Canadian cultivar record places flowering from late spring into early summer ([Canadian Food Inspection Agency PBR record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/cl/app00006100e.shtml)). ### Flowers and growth The Canadian record identifies the cultivar as Clematis viticella and describes weak-to-medium climbing vigor, ternate leaves, and flowers borne singly or in clusters. Its account distinguishes Parisienne from ‘Elsa Spath’ by sepal shape and underside color, while confirming the trade name and denomination as one exact selection rather than unrelated labels. These details make the record useful when selecting a trellised clematis for the late-spring and early-summer display. The documented flowers are single and have little to no fragrance; the sepal surfaces show blue-violet and violet tones, with white on the underside. ## Maintenance Provide support for the climbing stems and maintain even moisture while the plant establishes. The registration record says flowers form on both previous and current year’s growth; use a local clematis pruning guide suited to this growth pattern and avoid removing all potential flowering stems at once ([Canadian Food Inspection Agency PBR record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/cl/app00006100e.shtml)).
