A gorgeous sight when covered in pure white, lightly fragrant flowers in late summer, this variety becomes a silvery mass of fluffy seed heads in the fall. This hardy climber is a strong grower that can reach to 30′, but can easily be kept in check by cutting stems back to 12″ in spring. It blooms on the current year's growth, and unlike many clematis, it will thrive and bloom well in partial shade. Plants are unlikely to bloom the first year, but expect them to begin blooming the second year. Full to Part Sun.
