Clematis Parisienne Brand new introduction to the nursery 'Parisienne' from Raymond Evisons patio collection (the boulevard collection) launched at Chelsea Flower show last season, these are low growing climbing clematis that are ideal for pots on the patio. Plant in any aspect, very long flowering period may to oct from top to bottom.
Parisienne was mentioned by Robin Lane Fox in his column in the Financial Times just before Christmas, as one of his favourites to give as a gift :-

Next up is a plant for anyone with a balcony, a
mini-courtyard or so much room that you feel embarrassed about trying to give
them anything. Raymond Evison’s new class of clematis for growing in pots is
what we all need: they are up to 4ft high on a single strong cane, covered in
flowers and willing to survive during your fortnight’s summer holiday. In his
nursery-glasshouse in Guernsey, Evison once told me that he had been impelled
in this direction by the potential demand in Japan for clematis for small urban
spaces. We are all the beneficiaries. His range can be ordered for immediate
dispatch from gold-medal-winning Taylors near Doncaster. You will be spoiled
for choice, but there are discounts at present for orders of more than five
plants. My current top picks are the dark-glowing-red Nubia and icy-blue
Parisienne, each for sale in good 2l pots at £16 a time. These superb clematis
grow no more than 3ft-4ft high and can be pruned neatly into shape. They flower
on and off from May to early October and are extremely easy to please.
