Description

Duchess of Edinburgh Clematis is a regal and elegant vine, celebrated for its exquisite, fully double white flowers that resemble delicate rosettes or powder puffs. Blooming profusely from early to late summer, each pristine white bloom is densely packed with petals, often with a subtle hint of green and a center of creamy-yellow stamens. Its compact and vigorous growth makes it a stunning choice for growing on obelisks, trellises, or arbors where its sophisticated, long-lasting flowers can be admired up close.

  • Exquisite Double White Flowers: Produces an abundance of large, fully double, rosette-shaped flowers in pure white, sometimes tinged with green, creating a lush, romantic display.

  • Long Summer Bloom Period: Flowers profusely from early to late summer, providing an extended season of interest.

  • Compact & Vigorous Climber: A Group 2 clematis that grows to a manageable 6-8 ft., perfect for smaller gardens, containers, or decorative supports.

  • Versatile Garden Use: Ideal for training on trellises, obelisks, archways, or fences. Also excellent for growing in large containers on a patio.

  • Classic Clematis Care: Prefers "head in the sun, feet in the shade." Plant with the base and roots shaded by low-growing plants or a mulch.
