Overview

This new winter-flowering clematis produces its creamy bell-shaped flowers against the backdrop of green foliage. Ideal for sheltered gardens, it looks great scrambling through a large, well-established deciduous shrub, or smothering a south-facing wall, where it will offer interest throughout the darker months. In spring or summer, it may lose some (if not all) of its leaves, giving neighbouring plants their time in the spotlight.

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral
  • Rate of growth: average to fast
  • Flowering period: December to February

Care guide

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.

Warning

Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
