Guernsey Flute™ Clematis

This exceptional clematis has an unusual but endearing trait of holding, just open flower buds, for an extended period, almost like a champagne flute, hence the use of 'Flute' in its name. When flowers mature they open fully flat, with pointed sepals and of generous proportions. Possibly the most robust flower of any white form of large-flowered hybrid Clematis.

The plant is a repeat bloomer, producing its spectacular flowers abundantly in late spring and early summer, followed by a smaller, yet equally delightful, flush in late summer.
