Clematis 'Miss Christine'
clematis (group 1) (syn. Clematis montana Miss Christine)
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral soil
- Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
- Flowering period: May to June
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Masses of single white flowers with a delicate pale pink edge appear from late spring to early summer. This lovely montana clematis is named after the youngest daughter of the breeder, Sheila Chapman. It's a vigorous grower and the flowers have a rich, sweet fragrance so perfect for planting near a seating area or doorway. - Garden care: No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
- Humans: Skin irritant; Pets: Harmful if eaten
