  Producing a mass of highly scented white flowers in late spring and early summer, this gorgeous clematis is ideal for training over a sturdy pergola or through an accommodating, well established tree. It's also a fast grower, so can also be used to smother an ugly wall or fence in good time. Whatever you do, make sure you plant it somewhere that you can easily appreciate the flowers - and their exquisite perfume.
  
  
• Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
