Clematis Avalanche A worthy Spring Choice


While watering the plants I was admiring the cascades of white flower that make Clematis xcartmanii Avalanche a worthy popular spring choice. It’s an evergreen variety and the flowers are abundant.





Pretty glossy green petite feathery leaves.I feel it needs a reasonably sheltered position despite what others say, though it is fully hardy. It can grow in full sun or part shade to a height of about 2.5m and a width of around  3m. Its also suitable for growing in a pot.
The RHS awarded it with an AGM award of garden merit.
