Introduced in the late 1800’s and still one of the best, Duchess of Edinburgh Clematis features layers of velvety white petals that create large 4-6″ luscious blooms. A repeat bloomer, it blooms on both old and new wood. You can expect flowers in late spring and early summer, then again in late summer into fall. The vine grows 9′ tall. Rare and choice variety.

Duchess of Edinburgh Clematis is a member of pruning group 2. In early spring prune off dead or spindly wood, careful not to prune off old good wood, or early flowers will be lost. Prune again right after the first flush of blooms to encourage a second bloom. Prune back some stems one-third to one-half by cutting to large buds or a strong side shoot immediately below the spent blooms.

Plant in rich soil or soil that has been amended with organic matter. This Clematis prefers full sun to light shade. For best results keep consistently watered, especially during blooming.
