Clematis x cartmanii Avalanche (Evergreen Group)

Aptly named, Clematis x cartmanii 'Avalanche' is a bushy trailing or scrambling evergreen non-clinging climber with masses of pure white flowers, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), in early to mid-spring. The flowers are so prolifically produced that they create an avalanche of blossoms and smother the splendid foliage of deeply dissected glossy, leathery, deep green leaves. Moderately fast-growing, this evergreen clematis can weave through trees, roses, and tall shrubs. It is perfect trained along a wall, fence, or pergola or as a groundcover.

• Grows up to 12-15 ft. long and wide (360-450 cm).
• Thrives in moist, well-drained soils, in full sun to part shade. Ideally, Clematis prefer having their 'heads in the sun and their feet in the shade'. Keep the roots cool and shaded by other plants or add a layer of pebbles or flat stones at the base.
• Propagate by layering or semi-hardwood cuttings.
• This Clematis belongs to the first group of Clematis – a group including Early-flowering clematis which flower on shoots produced in the previous summer: No regular pruning is required. Just clean them up after flowering.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
