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: fast-growing
• Flowering period: June to September
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Producing its star-shaped flowers in abundance, and over a long period in summer, this new clematis will look great in a large pot. Alternatively, as it's fast-growing, you can use it to provide summer cover on an ugly wall or fence. The flowers themselves have a satiny texture to their petals, which are mainly white, but often with a pink or purple blush.
  
  
• 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.
