Clematis 'John Huxtable'

clematis (group 3)

Product Image
A mid to late summer, large-flowered white clematis with deeply textured, star-like, satin-like flowers up to 15cm (6in) across.

On close inspection, Clematis ‘John Huxtable’ is a beautiful ‘Jackmanii-type’ clematis, bossed with central yellow stamens, best trained horizontally through a low-growing shrub, rose, or trellis in full sun or partial shade.

How to care for Clematis John Huxtable:

Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and ensure the location receives plenty of sunlight—at least 6 hours a day—for optimal flowering.

However, they prefer their roots to be cool and shaded, so plant low-growing plants or add a layer of mulch of well-rotted compost around the base, avoiding the immediate crown.

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 well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
