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.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers
