Clematis patens 'Miss Cavell' | Miss Cavell Clematis

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Clematis patens ‘Miss Cavell’ produces large, open flowers in clear, pure white, with gently overlapping tepals that create a soft star-shaped outline. The blooms are centered with creamy yellow anthers and pale filaments that form a luminous focal point. Lightly textured petals catch natural light, while mid-green foliage provides a calm backdrop.

Flowering begins in late spring and often continues into early summer, with occasional repeat blooms later in the season. Introduced in the nineteenth century and named in honor of Edith Cavell, this cultivar is well suited for trellises, pergolas, and garden obelisks, where its refined flowers brighten vertical plantings and shaded garden spaces.
