Positive | On Apr 29, 2015, RrrrrGrrrr from Atlanta, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: I attached a rectangular trellis to the back of my mailbox and planted two "Henryi" at the base of it. They didn't do much the first couple of years, but in the third year they totally covered the trellis in beautiful white blooms. |
Neutral | On May 24, 2011, canadianplant from thunder bay, I bought this last year, as a small vine ( less then a foot tall). I placed it in full sun, but made sure the roots were well multched, and shaded. I also planted it 3 noded deeper then it was in its pot, as is usualy adviced for clematis. |
Positive | On Oct 12, 2009, JasperDale from Long Beach, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: A good, sturdy, no fuss Clematis that does well in Coastal So. Calif. and tolerates late summer heat and humidity. Huge flowers and a fast grower once established. Highly recommended ! |
Positive | On May 11, 2009, Psyguy10 from Fayetteville, NC (Zone 8a) wrote: This is a great Clematis! if you get one i it should be this one. Here it blooms in early may with huge white flowers, and later in the summer it reblooms with tiny white airy flowers... it's amazing! mine receives no water besides rain and it gets light shade in the morning and then a little but of sun very late in the afternoon. Certainly a wonderful carefree plant. |

Full, glossy folliage with beautiful white blossoms. I see it as a "no-brainer" and if I had more space I would plant one for myself. |
