  Magnificent, purple-veined white flowers with deep purple centres produced from July to September.

Resistant to clematis wilt it stands up well in wind and is suitable for a north-facing site.
  
  
• Garden care: In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground-level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
