Large, iridescent ivory flowers, up to 12cm across, appear from mid May to June, and again at the beginning of September. The lilac-hinting blooms surround a tuft of red-tipped, lime-green stamens. Great against a dark background and can even be grown in a container.
Clematis like their roots to be cool and partly shaded during the hotter parts of the day. Cover the soil with stones, or a dedicated clematis root pot, or plant a nearby plant to provide some ground level shade. Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
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.
