A quintessential and free-flowering clematis with mid-green leaves bearing four-petalled white blooms up to 8cm (3in) in width with a central cream band, and a centre of pale green stamens tipped with purple. A beautiful display, like a mass of white butterflies, 'Maria Cornelia' makes a wonderful climber for training over an obelisk in a large pot.
Clematis are happiest when their roots are kept cool and moist, so try to plant them where that the base of the plants will be lightly shaded by other, lower-growing species. Otherwise, use a clematis root protector, or top-dress the rootball (avoiding the immediate crown), with a generous layer of shingle or pebbles. This clematis is herbaceous and will die back during the winter to emerge again during the spring - remove spent stems and foliage to the ground in February, and apply a thick layer of mulch to suppress weeds, feed the soil, and keep the root area moist and cool for the growing season ahead.
