Description of the plant:
Miss Bateman is a gorgeous clematis variety with large white flowers decorated with even more beautiful crown of deep wine red stamens and anthers in the centre. Profuse flowering begins in mid May and continues until late June. And get ready for the second flush of slightly smaller flowers in late summer - August and September. Miss Bateman is quite compact without unsightly long shoots. Bred by Charles Noble in 1860's.It belongs to Group 2 clematis. Its flowers appear first in late spring and early summer on last year’s sideshoots, and in mid- and late summer at the tips of the current year's shoots. In early spring remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins, trimming all remaining stems to where strong buds are visible. These buds provide a framework of second-year shoots that flower in late spring and early summer. The flowers may then be removed. Young shoots bear more flowers later in the summer.
Clematis likes deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil that remains cool. You can grow a plant below clematis that will provide shade for its roots. Add garden compost in late winter and mulch it well. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4) and suitable for outdoor pots.
