Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least six hours of direct light for the best flower production. While it tolerates more shade than other Clematis, planting it in a spot with afternoon shade helps the creamy white petals maintain their pale yellow highlights without fading.
  • Soil: Aim for rich, well drained soil that stays consistently moist but never soggy. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" will quickly lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water your Clematis twice a week to ensure the root system establishes deeply. Once mature, this vine is moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture during the budding phase will result in smaller flowers or premature wilting. A thick layer of mulch over the root zone is essential because these plants prefer their "heads in the sun and feet in the shade."

Pruning Tips

Guernsey Cream is a Group 2 Clematis, meaning it blooms on both old wood from the previous year and new growth from the current season. In early spring, simply remove dead or damaged stems and cut the remaining vines back slightly to a set of healthy, plump buds. This light "haircut" encourages a massive flush of spring blooms while leaving enough new growth for a second show later in the summer.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release granular fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, in early spring as new growth appears. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this forces tender new growth that cannot harden off before the first frost. This late season surge leaves the plant vulnerable to winter kill and saps energy that should be stored for next year's blooms.

With a prominent yellow boss of stamens, this Clematis is a two-time bloomer, flowering once in late spring and again in late summer after deadheading. The blooms are huge and held prolifically across the top of the foliage. They are showy from the start of the season to their final finish for fall.

Garden and Landscape Applications

Guernsey Cream Clematis is a garden showpiece, excelling in both formal and casual landscapes. Train it on trellises, pergolas, or chain-link fences for an effortlessly elegant display.

Its creamy blooms and soft yellow tones pair beautifully with blue-toned and golden flowering perennials and shrubs for a luxurious floral contrast. It stays compact and can be used in smaller-scale courtyards as well as oversized terrace plantings.

Use this multi-purpose Clematis in extra-large containers on patios or balconies, or allow it to gracefully cascade over rock walls for a naturalized look. For a unique effect, train it horizontally as groundcover, creating a moonlit glow over dark green foliage. Cover rock walls with their extreme flowering display.

This is a must-have for Moon Gardens! Use it as the exclusive flowering accent in a streamlined Zen Garden of trimmed evergreens and stone sculptures.
