Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit
Also known as Fargesioides & SUMMER SNOW.
Cultivation Advice.
These clematis prefer a good quality soil with high nutrient levels and a soil which is moist but free-draining. Improve planting holes with at least 2 forkfuls of well rotted manure or garden compost and if you don't have these use a 'Soil Improver' compost. The improvement material added should be placed under the root of the plant not around it. This encourages the roots to grow downwards and remain deep and cool during summer. There is no need to deadhead these clematis, however if they appear to have finished flowering earlier than you expected, there is no harm in giving them a light trim to encourage new growth and a secondary flowering late in the autumn.

Beautiful
Well what a stunner of a plant.
I ordered this after seeing it on gardeners world program on friday night and it was delivered on the wednesday. Now it has been planted for 3 weeks and it is already 5foot tall and still going up to the top of the shed.
I am impatient to see it flower bu tit is already looking good.
Thanksagain Thornycroft for great service and great plants.

Like the other reviewer, I ordered after seeing this on gardeners world. I had to wait as it was out of stock but Thorncroft kept me informed all the way. Also received detailed planting instructions, brilliant service and beautiful plants. Many thanks indeed for a tip top service
