  Satiny, pure-white flowers with overlapping petals and golden-yellow centres from June to September. A reliable variety raised in the late nineteenth-century, this is probably the most widely grown white-flowered clematis. To appreciate the beautiful, white flowers close-up, it is best trained horizontally through a low-growing shrub in full sun or partial shade.
  
  
• Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
