Clematis x 'Henryi'
Making their first appearance in June, the pure white blossoms of Henryii are up to 7" in diameter, centered by brown anthers.
~ It repeat blooms in June and September ~
Note: An initial key to growing Clematis successfully appears to be keeping the plant's root system cool. The most vigorous vines seem to result from 3-4" of good mulch, plenty of moisture, and protection from the hot afternoon sun.
