About This Plant
Star-shaped white blooms edged in rich purple create a striking two-tone display from late spring through summer, with repeat blooms extending the season. Its compact climbing habit is ideal for trellises, obelisks, containers, and small garden spaces, where the unique flowers become an instant focal point. Easy to grow and long blooming, it brings bold contrast and elegant vertical interest to the garden.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 6+ hours of direct sun. Plant 2–3 in deeper than it sat in the pot to encourage extra shoots. Give it a trellis or support, and shade the roots with mulch or low plants. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Feed once in early spring with a slow-release shrub fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Pruning depends on the clematis type; check the plant tag. If unsure, trim lightly after flowering. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
