Description
Clematis Duchess of Edinburgh climbs a wall, trellis, or other support with large double white flowers, some carrying green outer tepals. A second flush follows later in the season, extending the display.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. Keep the roots and base cool with low planting or mulch, and prune lightly to strong buds before growth begins in early spring. The plant can irritate skin and is harmful to rabbits if eaten.
