About this item

• Clematis is a genus of over 250 species, most of which are woody to semi-woody deciduous vines climbing by twining leaf stalks or in some cases trailing over support, but in a few cases grow as freestanding or sprawling herbaceous perennials and small deciduous or evergreen shrubs.
• Clematis 'Candida' is an early large-flowered, semi-woody, climbing vine that typically grows 8-12’ tall. It is a hybrid clematis whose parents are C. lanuginosa and C. patens. Very large, single, white flowers (to 7-9” diameter) with creamy white to yellow anthers bloom on both old growth (May to June) and new growth (June to September).
• Many gardeners consider this vine to have its best show of blooms on the new growth, and therefore elect to prune it under group 3 which eliminates old growth bloom. Branches are clad with bipinnate to pinnate-compound dark green leaves. Flowers are followed by silver-gray seed heads.
• Clematis can be trained to climb a wall, trellis, fence, arbor, porch, lamppost or other stationary structure. They provides good architectural height and framework for small gardens. They can also be planted to sprawl over and through shrubs, scramble over old stumps or simply as a ground cover in conjunction with other flowering perennials.
• With its climbing ability and unique white blooms, Candida deserves a prime spot in the landscape or on a deck or patio. It can grow in a container or in the ground. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are attracted to the blooms and the plant is deer and rabbit resistant.
