About This Plant

For those who wish to justify the crossbreeding of clematis, Clematis 'Summer Snow' is the perfect choice. This vigorous hybrid is the result of a marriage between C. fargesii and C. vitalba, combining the best qualities of each while eliminating their respective weaknesses. The slender and graceful deciduous climber boasts fresh light green foliage and produces stunning star-shaped flowers in pairs or trios, with creamy-white petals and a fragrant center. At a height of 6-7 meters, it maintains a sense of lightness, making it a desirable addition to any garden. As a Group C or III clematis, it is easy to care for and can be trimmed back in the late autumn or early spring to encourage new growth.

Our Tips & Recommendations

Planting Tip

Clematis love "cool feet, warm heads." Mulch the root zone well and position so the vine can climb into sunlight. Plant the crown 2–3 inches below soil level.

Pruning by Group

Know your pruning group! Group 1 blooms on old wood (light trim after flowering), Group 2 is light prune in late winter, Group 3 gets a hard prune to 12 inches in early spring.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first year. A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
