One of the earliest and most profusely flowering clematises. Charming, creamy-white flowers, borne on long, slender stalks during April-June, are followed, during summer and autumn, by decorative, silky seed heads. A very hardy plant with low requirements. Ideal for growing over fences, walls, or scrambling over rocks and old stumps. Particularly useful for planting near small trees and coniferous or deciduous shrubs. Makes good ground cover.
