The greenish-cream nodding bell-shaped flowers have long reddish-pink anthers. The foliage is winter-green, it has a period of dormancy in the summer when it can lose its leaves.
Cultivation Advice
These winter flowering clematis produce masses of nodding bell-like flowers. Whilst the foliage is classed as EVERGREEN it looks at its best in autumn, winter and spring, they can have a natural dormant period in summer, when the leaves sometimes go brown. The Cirrhosa Group require a sunny, free draining situation that is sheltered from the worst of the cold winds. If required, prune immediately after flowering.
IMPORTANT! While in a dormant state during summer they do not want frequent watering because this can cause damage to the root, they are used to being dry during the summer. Avoid them becoming too excessively wet during their first autumn and winter in the ground or perhaps consider planting in the spring.

Fantastic service
lovely plant received with detailed planting instructions, many thanks for a tip top service
Surprise move with pot
I have a large garden in Brighton and a small flat with balcony in Paris. When my friend stopped by my flat to pick up two pots of clematis to bring to Paris he picked up the wrong ones--this Clematis napaulensis and Freckles! Surprise! They both did very well in pots on the balcony and now are in second winter. This Napaulensis did not have as many flowers nor flowers for as long as indicated but both these clematis were in full flower in dreary November and December! Fair warning Napaulensis did lose its leaves at height of Paris summer heat wave (30 degrees C) and my neighbour, dispairing, almost threw it away!
