Huge interest
According to Mogens N. Olesen, the interest for the indoor clematis is good and increases as it is a strong variety with a long shelf life. "They keep their quality during transport, on the shelves at the store and will flower for several weeks at the consumer's home. Afterwards, when they are done flowering, they can planted in the garden, on the terrace or balcony," says Olesen.
Still unknown
In spite of the high interest, the indoor clematis is still quite unknown. "In the coming years, we expect the popularity to grow as Poulsen Roser will introduce new attractive colors, like strong red and pink colors."

Indoor clematis collection
Currently, the indoor clematis collection of Poulsen Roser consists of around 30 varieties in 4 collections. These collections are the Boulevard®, Garland®, Tudor Patio®, and Paillette®. "The most popular collection is the Boulevard as it contains the most colors," says Olesen, but he is convinced that the Garland® varieties will grow in popularity because of their excellent shelf life.
Finishes in 6 weeks
For the growers, the clematis has a couple of advantages. According to Olesen, they are easy to grow from what we call a 'ready' half plant only 6 weeks from potting to finish. "Besides that, it is a superb genus to work with as they require little or no heat," says Olesen
