Clematis - Terniflora

Clematis Terniflora, Clematis 'Terniflora', produces masses of small 1" creamy white flowers that completely cover this plant. Its sweet scent is an added bonus and is sure to get the attention of anyone who walks by. Terniflora is very impressive with its deep green leathery leaves and profuse blooming. Can be kept smaller with pruning. Clematis 'Terniflora' needs a supporting structure to grow properly, and it is easy to grow with a rich, porous, alkaline soil that has plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, but will thrive and bloom in shade. Apply a generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Very reliable performers once established; they take a season or two. Extremely rampant growth habit that may need hard pruning in fall or early spring.
