A beautiful Victorian white Clematis, created in 1869, with contrasting red anthers in the centre. Clematis 'Miss Bateman' looks fantastic planted alone or alongside a more brightly coloured Clematis variety. It has an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS and flowers in early summer, often with a second flush of blooms a couple of months later. This Clematis likes moist, well drained soil, with its base shaded by other plants. As well as up walls and fences, Clematis 'Miss Bateman' is also suitable for growing in obelisk planters. Height: 2.5m (8?). Spread: 1m (3?). Pruning group: 2.
'Miss Bateman' is a simply gorgeous, early season and large flowering clematis with elegant white blooms that have green stripes down the petals. Not one to disappoint, it will produce a second display of pretty white flowers later in the summer from August to September. A vigorous climber, this clematis has a relatively compact habit, and this makes it suitable for growing in container if space is limited, where its free-flowering nature can be put to best effect. Clematis plants make wonderful additions to any garden and can be used very effectively to screen and hide objects and to enhance other plants such as other climbers and shrubs, especially roses. Due to the compact nature of this plant, you can also plant in a pot or container on the patio, so you should not worry about finding space in your borders. Why not grow up an obelisk in a pot for a beautiful patio display? Winter hardy and free flowering, they can pretty much be left to their own devices with just a light trim in late winter/early spring trim and a prune back in the summer after flowering. Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, with a supporting tripod, ready to plant.
