Clematis Sweet Autumn

Extend the clematis season with this late–blooming climber. In late summer to fall, dainty, white, star–shaped blooms open and perfume the air with an intoxicating fragrance. Butterflies and pollinators love it. This vine creates an elegant vertical display as it climbs up fences, trellises, lampposts and mailboxes. It's vining habit brings the blooms up out of the bed, so their delightful fragrance can hang over your garden. The glossy foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the pretty 1" flowers. Clematis paniculata 'Sweet Autumn'

In our EZ Pruning Guide, this variety is in the GREEN pruning category. These Clematis bloom on new vines that emerge from the ground each year or stems from near the bottom of older vines. Prune hard in the spring and as often as you like to encourage reblooming and keep the plant as tidy as you like.
