• Flowering period: May to June and September

Elegant large pure white early summer flowers initially mauve-tinged with yellow centres and mid-green leaves. The petals of this large-flowered clematis have pretty wavy edges. An excellent climber for growing through a strong shrub, tree or climbing rose in full sun or partial shade with a second flush of flowers in September.

• Garden care: 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 of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
