Clematis 'Marie Boisselot'
early large flowered clematis (group 2) (syn. Clematis Mme Le Coultre)
Satiny, pure white flowers with overlapping petals and golden yellow centres from June to September. A reliable variety raised in the late nineteenth century, this is probably the most widely grown white-flowered clematis. To appreciate the beautiful white flowers close-up, it is best trained horizontally through a low-growing shrub in full sun or partial shade.
How to care for Clematis Marie Boisselot:
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.
Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
