Producing its star-shaped flowers in abundance, and over a long period in summer, this new clematis will look great in a large pot. Alternatively, as it's fast-growing, you can use it to provide summer cover on an ugly wall or fence. The flowers themselves have a satiny texture to their petals, which are mainly white, but often with a pink or purple blush.

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 and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.

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.
