I thought the flowers were less than attractive. Now that it is mature, the flower buds and flowers are both lovely. It is also very vigorous. |

Have found with most double clematis's be ruthless & prune hard & they will reward you. |

Editor's Note
Some resources list all parts of all Clematis species poisonous if ingested. The toxic principal is Anemonin, and symptoms after ingestion include intense burning sensation in the mouth and mouth ulcers.
Dermatitis and skin irritation has also been recorded, as have allergies and hay fever type symptoms from pollen inhalation.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to caution gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

| Positive | DreamOfSpring | On Feb 13, 2006, DreamOfSpring from Charleston, SC (Zone 8b) wrote: I have quite a few clematis plants. This is by far my most prolific bloomer. In 2005, it started blooming on Mar 29, bloomed heavily in April and May and continued to sport a handful of blooms most of the summer. Throughout Fall 05 it kept a bloom or two at all times. I recorded the last bloom on Dec 16, 2005! By that time all of my other clematis had long since gone dormant. BTW, this plant is located on a fence behind a group of roses. I can't get to it without wrestling with rose thorns, so it gets no help from the gardener, but still manages to bloom almost non-stop for 3/4 of the year.
The pure white, double blooms are quite striking. My blooms have considerable green on them when partially open but are pure white when fully open. I find the green adds to the performance. |

Blooms around the 2nd week of June in the midwest. |
