Producing a mass of creamy white flowers from late winter to early spring, this bushy evergreen clematis will thrive in a partially shaded spot that is reliably moist in summer, but offers good drainage in winter. It is hardy to -7C, although soft new growth may suffer a little damage when temperatures dip below freezing in winter. This charming climber is perfectly suited to a north- or west-facing aspect, and it will also make a fine specimen in a large pot topped with a trellis panel or obelisk.
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.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of 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.
