A late summer-flowering climber producing open, bell-shaped white flowers with purplish-black centres and grey-green leaves, Clematis 'Alba Luxurians' is ideal for growing through trees, shrubs and climbing roses. The elegant white flowers with bright green tips are much sought after by flower arrangers.
A viticella type, 'Alba Luxurians' has a good resistance to clematis wilt, and will tolerate more exposed positions better than most.

To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.
However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser.
