A very vigorous, handsome and hardy climber. I grow it in an acid, woodland type of soil in full sun in Sofia, zone 6b, with its roots shaded by a Rose-of-Sharon that gets cut back severely to keep the roots of the Clematis cool. The flowers are very pretty and emerge simultaneously with the leaves. They have a delicate powdery fragrance that is only noticeable if one actually smells them.
In winter it does look a bit tattered, though, because the dried leaves cling to the plant's stems.
