Description

In the depths of winter, when the garden is seriously lacking interest, how uplifting it is to see Clematis 'Wisley Cream' bursting into life!

With their almost paper-like petals, its delicate, green-tinged creamy flowers nod like bells on a background of dark green, lobed evergreen leaves. Eventually reaching 4m (13ft) in height, this is a perfect clematis for growing in a sunny setting over a garden arch or trellis, which it will quickly cover. You don't even need to prune it, but if you need to control it a trim after flowering is all that's needed.

Blooming from December until late February, 'Wisley Cream' is an invaluable early source of nectar, very much appreciated by insects as they tentatively begin to emerge.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant out.

Top Tips

Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.
Clematis like cool roots, so try to plant so that the roots are shaded. If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting.

Care Information

Will appreciate a sheltered site with some winter protection such as a dry winter mulch.

Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems. Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leaf mould or garden compost.

Water regularly during periods of dry weather in the first few seasons after planting, especially for container plants.

Clematis in pots should be given a liquid feed through the summer and early autumn.

Pruning 'Wisley Cream' isn't necessary, as this is a group 1 clematis. However, should it need tidying, trim after flowering.
