Clematis: Clematis 'Marie Boisselot'

description for "Clematis: Clematis 'Marie Boisselot'"

'Marie Boisselot' is a beautiful, large-flowered variety - the pure white flowers have creamy white stamens. Flower size is about 8" and the petals overlap. Vigorous grower. Not heavy-flowering, but blooms for a long season. Prune lightly. 'Marie Boisselot' is most likely a member of Groups 2a and 2b (Groups B1 and B2) – prune only after flowering, to shape, or to remove dead wood. The Group 2 clematis flowers on wood produced the previous season AND on the current year’s growth. However, the Group 2 differs from Group 1 in that they flower both in the spring and then again either intermittently through the summer (Group 2b) or in the fall (Group 2a). To encourage additional blooms, Group 2 clematis should be deadheaded after the initial spring bloom. Provide full sun to part shade and consistent moisture. – edited by dtd pbcouchman
