Producing its star-shaped flowers in abundance, and over a long period in summer, this new clematis will look great in a large pot. Alternatively, as it's fast-growing, you can use it to provide summer cover on an ugly wall or fence. The flowers themselves have a satiny texture to their petals, which are mainly white, but often with a pink or purple blush.
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
