Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beautiful, double white, rosette-shaped flowers with yellow stamens. Sometimes greenish-white bloom. Double flowers in May & June and semi-double flowers in Sept. Growth Rate slow to medium

By: Garden World

Layer upon layer of white petals create these beautiful 4-6", medium sized, nearly rose-like, double Clematis flowers and may be lightly touched with green. This is a reliable and free flowering heirloom Clematis cultivar that flowers in late spring-early summer and often again in late summer. 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.
