Presenting an uncommon twist within the montana group, ‘Prosperity’ boasts a striking pure white hue accompanied by a delightful fragrance. This robust, compact, and deciduous climber would suit a large pot where it could scramble up a small obelisk, or in open ground, weaving its way through a nearby evergreen shrub. Adorned with dark green leaves, it features small, single, satin-textured white flowers, around 8cm (3in) in diameter, donning wavy margins and creamy-white stamens on lengthy stalks, blooming from late spring to early summer. Just remember to avoid planting in frost pockets or exposed locations to shield its precious buds from early cold snaps, and it will reward you with an enchanting, long-lasting display.


  • Garden care:
    Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these clematis in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
    • Humans: Skin allergen; Pets: Harmful if eaten
