Large-Flowered Clematis 'Snow Queen'
Clematis ‘Snow Queen’ is a compact, deciduous climber with huge, luminous, pure white flowers, 6-8 in. across (15-20 cm), adorned with burgundy-red anthers. The slightly cupped, overlapping tepals may have a slight blue or pink tinge but fade to white as they mature. Flowering comes in two waves: first in late spring to early summer, then from late summer to early fall. Hardy, moderately vigorous, this showy large-flowered clematis is ideal for arbors, trellises, pergolas, and other garden structures. Ideal for container culture.
As climbers, Clematis are unsurpassed in their long flowering presence, their rich diversity of flower shapes, and their wide array of colors and tolerances in terms of exposure and climate. It is no wonder they are so popular! From tree huggers to container varieties, there is a Clematis for every garden and flowers for almost every month of the year! Members of the Ranunculaceae family, they include more than 300 species and hundreds of hybrids. They create year after year a ravishing colorful show in the garden whether solely trained on walls, arbors, or trellises, or grown in association with other climbers. They are divided into 3 groups which determine how they should be pruned. Regular pruning of Clematis is important as it promotes strong growth and flowering as well as a harmonious plant. If left unpruned, Clematis can turn into a mass of tangled stems with a bare base and flowers well above eye level.
