IRVINE, Calif. – Raymond Evison, known by many as the “Clematis King,” will make a special appearance at the Mid-America Horticultural Trade Show in Chicago, Jan. 19 to 21, to introduce his new royal clematis for 2005.
Evison, who is credited with cultivating more than half of all clematis sold in North America, will present his new Raymond Evison Patio Clematis Collection, the first clematis bred specifically for containers, at the Hines Horticulture booth No. 1420.
These super-performers barely reach 3 feet and are covered with jewel-toned blossoms, making them ideal for small spaces and containers. All three are grown in decorative containers for high sales impact and provide home gardeners with instant color for the patio or deck.
Evison will speak about his new introductions and demonstrate innovative new garden uses for the “queen of the vines” at the Hines booth. On Thursday, Jan. 20, he will speak about his new introductions and what he has in the pipeline during a private gala for a select group of Hines retailers.
Last year Hines, introduced the long-blooming Raymond Evison Royal Horticultural Society Bicentenary Clematis Collection, featuring four spectacular clematis that are heartier, easier to grow and bloom much longer than traditional clematis sold in the United States.
With more than 40 years of experience growing clematis, Mr. Evison raises 4.6 million clematis a year, producing 25 percent of the world’s clematis market and 50 percent of North America’s. At the height of production in April and May, 90 employees make 45,000 cuttings a day. In his native Great Britain, Queen Elizabeth II honored Evison and his work in 2000 by appointing him an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his services to horticulture on the Isle of Guernsey, Great Britain.
These new Raymond Evison clematis collections are being introduced in partnership with Hines Horticulture. For more information, visit www.hinesvines.com.
