Clematis Alba Luxurians (3 litre pot | 60cm cane)

Nodding green tinted white flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to September Hardiness: fully hardy Open, bell-shaped white flowers with purplish-black centres and grey-green leaves. This late summer-flowering clematis is ideal for growing through trees, shrubs and climbing roses. The elegant white flowers with bright green tips are much sought after by flower arrangers. A viticella type, it has a good resistance to clematis wilt and tolerates a certain amount of wind. Garden care: 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.
