Have had this clematis on a north wall for years. Always puts on on terrific show each year. Almost lost it last year due to wilt. It's back and not blooming as full as previous years, but I'll take it.

Candida has grown in my garden for several years. It is a gorgeous pure white cultivar with blooms close to 6" wide. This is a vigorous plant when handled correctly (cool shaded roots and lots of sun).

Pruning Info quoted from a UK grower site:
"Group B flowers mostly in May to June on the old wood and again late in the year on the new wood. Prune out any weak or damaged stems in late February and train the newly hardened stems down into their permanent position"

This is my first clematis to bloom in the spring and this year I am getting a very late rebloom in september. Even after I removed it from its pot in which it had gotten rootbound in 1 year, chopped its rootball off to a managable size and replanted it next to a small dead dogwood tree. I gave it a friend there also clematis, fireworks. I can't wait to see the show next year. The flowers on this plant are so large and showy you can't miss them.
A very clear white too.
