Everything You Need to Know About 'Ville de Lyon' clematis (Clematis) – climbing plant with large carmine-pink flowers

Does the 'Ville de Lyon' clematis flower in its first year after planting?

Delivered as a well-established 9 cm pot-grown plant, the 'Ville de Lyon' clematis may produce its first flowers in the same season it is planted, provided it receives the right exposure and watering. However, the display becomes more abundant in the second and third years as the plant fills out: this is typical of clematis, which become more spectacular each year. Flowering lasts from June to October.

How tall can the 'Ville de Lyon' clematis grow at maturity?

The 'Ville de Lyon' clematis reaches 2 to 3.5 metres at maturity, making it ideal for a fence, trellis, pergola or arch. Growth is rapid once the plant is established: expect 1 to 1.5 m of growth per season in favourable conditions. Provide a sturdy support from the time of planting.

Can the 'Ville de Lyon' clematis be grown in a pot on a balcony or terrace?

Yes, the young Ø9 cm size is well suited for starting off in a pot. Eventually, choose a container of at least 30 to 40 litres per plant, a rich, well-draining potting mix, and install a support (trellis, obelisk, or mesh) at planting. In a pot, watering is more frequent than in the ground, and a fertilizer for flowering plants from March to September supports blooming. Keep the pot in the shade, with the top of the plant in the sun.

How to prune the 'Ville de Lyon' Clematis without losing its flowers?

The 'Ville de Lyon' clematis belongs to pruning group 3, the simplest: it flowers only on the current year's growth. At the end of winter, cut back all stems to 30 to 50 cm above the ground, above a pair of vigorous buds. The plant starts anew each spring with an even more generous display of flowers; there is no risk of doing it wrong.

Which plants to pair with the 'Ville de Lyon' Clematis in the garden?

The 'Ville de Lyon' clematis pairs particularly well with climbing roses, with which it shares supports and fills in gaps in their flowering. Its bright carmine-pink colour harmonises with lavender, ornamental sage and perennial geraniums at the foot of a wall. To protect the base from the heat, plant a discreet ground cover (such as lady's mantle or heuchera) or grow it on a lightly flowering shrub, which it will dress with colour without outcompeting.

When to plant Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' in the ground?

The ideal time for planting is in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to October), avoiding frost and heatwaves. In practice, potted plants can be planted all year round, provided the soil is neither frozen nor scorching. Planting in autumn, when the soil is still warm, encourages root establishment before winter and promotes more abundant flowering the following spring. Remember to bury the crown 5 cm deep when planting.

Is the ‘Ville de Lyon’ clematis resistant to clematis wilt?

Clematis wilt, caused by the fungus Phoma clematidina, is the main disease affecting the genus. Proper planting greatly reduces the risk: bury the crown about 5 cm below the surface so that, in the event of an attack, the underground buds allow the plant to regrow the following season. Well-drained soil and watering at the base (without wetting the foliage) also help limit problems.

The essentials about 'Ville de Lyon' clematis (Clematis) – climbing plant with large carmine-pink flowers

Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' (Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'): characteristics and benefits

The Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' (Clematis 'Ville de Lyon') is one of the most popular large-flowered climbers of the genus. Created in Lyon and cultivated for over a century, it is a benchmark clematis, generous and hardy, whose colour intensifies around the edges of the petals. Its flowers, large, single, bright carmine-pink flowers with contrasting yellow stamens, bloom from June to October.

Where to plant Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'? Exposure and hardiness

Clematis 'Ville de Lyon' should preferably be planted in full sun or partial shade, with at least 5 to 6 hours of light per day. The golden rule for clematis applies: the head in the sun, the base in the shade. A thick mulch or a low-growing plant protects the roots from the summer heat, while the hardy rootstock, resistant down to -20°C, survives winter without protection. Discover our full selection of climbing plants sourced directly from our partner growers.

How to care for Clematis 'Ville de Lyon'?

  • Soil: moist, rich and well-drained. Amend with compost and bury the crown 5 cm deep when planting. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils.

  • Pruning: cut back all stems to 30-50 cm in late winter.
  • Support: install a trellis, wire mesh or arch at planting; the clematis climbs by wrapping its petioles around thin supports.
