Snow Queen Large-Flower Clematis

Plant in spring or fall near a sturdy trellis, fence, or other support structure. Dig a wide, generous planting hole, incorporate compost, and set the crown 2–3 inches below soil level to protect against clematis wilt. Water thoroughly and mulch well to keep the root zone cool. Train stems to the support as they grow throughout the season.

Snow Queen is a Group 2 clematis — prune lightly in early spring, removing only dead wood and weak stems, then cut back to a pair of healthy buds. Heavy pruning removes the first flush of blooms that develop on old wood. Fertilize in spring. Water consistently. The large, pure white flowers with contrasting stamens are elegant and classic. An outstanding clematis for walls, fences, and garden structures.
