Loads of pure white 5-8" flowers are born in late spring to early summer and often again in late summer this free flowering and reliable heirloom Clematis cultivar. Pruning group 2 - prune immediately after flowering to promote reblooming. Clematis are often long-lived perennial vines that can live for 50 years+. These small-medium sized vines like conditions where their head is in the sun and their 'feet' are in the shade. A deep mulch, groundcover, or even a rock can provide the cool root zone that these easy perennials prefer.
